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!
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.
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.
Back in the clubhouse she had all three guys shaking their
heads at her ability.
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 traight up in the air?"
She said, "Then I'm fifteen minutes late."
