Four lawyers in a law firm lived and died for their Saturday
morning round of golf. It was their favorite moment of the week.
Then one of the lawyers was transferred to an office in another
city.
It wasn't quite the same without him. A new woman lawyer joined
their law firm, and one day she overheard the remaining three
talking about their golf round at the coffee table. Curious, she
spoke up, 'You know, I used to play on my golf team in college and I was pretty good. Would you
mind if I joined you next week?'
The three lawyers looked at each other. They were hesitant because
no one wanted to say 'yes', but she had them on the spot.
Finally, one man said it would be okay, but they would be starting pretty early, at
6:30 am.
He figured the early Tee-Time would discourage her immediately.
The woman said this might be a problem, and asked if she could
possibly be up to 15 minutes late. They rolled their eyes, but
said this would be okay.
She smiled, and said, 'Good, then I'll be there either at 6:30 or
6:45.'
She showed up right at 6:30, and wound up beating all three of them
with an eye-opening 2-under par round. She was a fun and pleasant
person the entire round. The guys were impressed! Back in the clubhouse
they congratulated her and happily invited her back the next week.
She smiled, and said, 'Sure, I'll be here at 6:30 or 6:45.' The
next week she again showed up at 6:30 Saturday morning! Only this
time, she played left-handed. The three lawyers were incredulous as she
still managed to beat them with an even par round, despite playing with her off-hand.
By now the guys were totally amazed, but wondered if she was just trying
to make them look bad by beating them left-handed They couldn't figure
her out.
She was again very pleasant and didn't seem to be showing them up,
but each man began to harbor a burning desire to beat her!
In the third week they all had their game faces on. But this week
she was 15 minutes late! This had the guys irritable because each
was determined to play the best round of golf of his life, to beat her. As
they waited for her, they figured her late arrival was some petty gamesmanship
on her part. Finally, she showed up. This week the lady lawyer played
right-handed, which was a good thing since she narrowly beat all three
of them. However, she was so gracious and so complimentary of their
strong play, it was hard to hold a grudge against her. This woman was a
riddle no one could figure out!
Back in the clubhouse she had all three guys shaking their heads at
her ability. They had a couple of beers after their round which
helped the conversation loosen up. Finally, one of the men could
contain his curiosity no longer. He asked her point blank, 'How do
you decide if you're going to golf right-handed or left-handed?'
The lady blushed, and grinned. She said, 'That's easy. When my
Dad taught me to play golf, I learned I was ambidextrous. I have
always had fun switching back and forth. Then when I met my
husband in college and got married, I discovered he always sleeps in the
nude.
From then on, I developed a silly habit. Right before I left in
the morning for golf practice, I would pull the covers off him. If
hi! s you-know-what was pointing to the right, I golfed right-handed;
if it was pointed to the left, I golfed left-handed.
All the guys on the team thought this was hysterical! Astonished
at this bizarre information, one of the guys shot back, 'But what
if it's pointed straight up in the air?'
She said, 'Then, I'm fifteen minutes late!
