The Unlosable Golf Ball
Two friends went out to play golf and were about to tee off, when one
fellow noticed that his partner had but one golf ball.
"Don't you have at least one other golf ball?", he asked. The
other guy replied that no, he only needed the one.
"Are you sure?", the friend persisted. "What happens
if you lose that ball?"
The other guy replied, "This is a very special golf ball. I won't
lose it so I don't need another one."
"Well," the friend asked, "what happens if you miss your
shot and the ball goes in the lake?"
"That's okay," he replied, "this special golf ball floats.
I'll be able to retrieve it."
"Well what happens if you hit it into the trees and it gets lost
among the bushes and shrubs?"
The other guy replied, "That's okay too. You see, this special
golf ball has a homing beacon. I'll be able to get it back -- no problem."
Exasperated, the friend asks, "Okay. Let's say our game goes late,
the sun goes down, and you hit your ball into a sand trap. What are you
going to do then?"
"No problem," says the other guy, "you see, this ball
is florescent. I'll be able to see it in the dark."
Finally satisfied that he needs only the one golf ball, the friend asks,
"Hey, where did you get a golf ball like that anyway?"
The other
guy replies, "I found it."
