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
fluourescent. 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?"
