| A lovely afternoon finds one fellow and his wife golfing. They have had
a wonderful time and the man has had a near perfect game. The final
hole, by far the most difficult, wraps around an old barn. With a terrible
slice the man puts the barn between his ball and the green. Knowing
that the strokes that it will take to get around the barn will destroy his
score, he begins to rant and rave. His wife hating to see him ruin such
a great afternoon makes a suggestion.
"What if I were to hold open the barn doors? That way you could send it
right through the barn onto the green."
He thinks this over and decides that it will work. With his wife holding
open the barn door he lines up with the hole and gives the ball a
terrific "whack"! The ball shoots through the air and right into the head
of his wife, killing her instantly.
Months go by, the man mourning all the while. His friends, hating to see
him in such a state, convince him to go golfing with them. They end up
at the same course and on the final hole, oddly enough, another terrible
slice puts the old barn between his ball and the green. Again he begins
to rant and rave at what this dilemma will do to his score. He friend,
wanting to please him, makes a suggestion.
"What if I were to hold open the barn doors? That way you could send it
right through the barn onto the green."
"No," the man replies,
"last time I did that I got two over par."
