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. 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.
Not one of them 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 keep 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 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 his you-know-what was pointing to the right, I
golfed right-handed and if it was pointed to the left, I golfed left-handed.
All the girls 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, "Duh!!!! Then I'm fifteen minutes late."
