There was a man named John who got a new job. His fellow employees always met
for a round of golf every Saturday. They asked John to meet them at 10:00
Saturday morning. John
replied that he would love to meet them, but he may be 10 minutes late.
On Saturday morning John was there at exactly 10:00. He golfed right-handed and
won the round.
Next Saturday rolls around, and John says that he will be there, but he may be
10 minutes late again. He shows up right on time, golfs left-handed, and wins
the round. This
continues for the next few weeks, with John always saying that he may be 10
minutes late, and then always winning the round golfing, either left- or
right-handed.
The other employees are getting tired of this, and decided to ask him what the
deal was. They said, “John, every Saturday you say you may be 10 minutes late.
You never are. Then
you show up and golf either right-handed or left-handed, and always win. What is
up with that?”
John replies, “Well, I am a very superstitious kind of guy. Every Saturday when
I wake up, I look over at my wife. If she is sleeping on her left side, I golf
left-handed. If
she is sleeping on her right side, I golf right-handed.”
“Well,” one of the employees questioned, “What happens if she is laying on her
back?”
John replies, “Then I am 10 minutes late.” |
