Joke Of The Day
Comes from Ron.
HRH, The iWon, decides to hold a golf tournament for IRS workers. The prize is established as a three-year immunity from federal prosecution. Nine hundred employees sign up for the coveted prize.
Finally the elimination-style, match-play, seeded-bracket tournament reduces the field down to two players: Danny Werfel and Doug Shulman.
The 18th hole is a classic dogleg-left par four blind tee shot which slopes into a tree-lined valley. Shulman and Werfel approach the tee with the match all square.
Both men hit nice, long tee shots which land over the crest of the fairway and run down the slope toward the creek on the left. A forecaddie runs up to where he can be seen from the tee and says that the balls are both in the fairway, side-by-side about a foot apart. Both are Titleist 1s.
Danny and Doug look at each other, realizing that they’d forgotten to announce what brand of ball they were playing and what number. Reaching their drives, they see that both their drives are in perfect position, but they’d need a ruling before hitting their second shots since they’d never declared the name and number of the ball they hit from the tee.
“With all the attention we’ve been getting lately in the press, we damned sure don’t want it to get out that we can’t even keep straight which golf ball is whose,” Werfel says, and Shulman is quick to agree.
They call Judge Incompetano out to clarify the issue. The Judge looks closely at the two Titleist #1 golf balls lying side-by-side and looks at the two men: “O.K. Which one of you is playing the orange ball?”
