26.12 Humor - En gammel klassiker:
Ikke
alltid like lett med golfspråket
Vi tar opp igjen en gammel klassiker for underholdningens skyld.
Her er en historie som er mange år gammel, men som sikkert mange ikke har fått
med seg.
My wife said to me, "George, it is about time that you learned golf - you know,
golf -- that's the game where you chase a ball all over the country when you are
too old to chase women."
So I went to see Jones and asked him if he would teach me how to play. He said,
"Sure, you've got balls, haven't you?" "Yes," I said, "Sometimes on cold
mornings they're kinda hard to find."
"Bring them to the clubhouse tomorrow," he said, "and we have to tee off in
front of the clubhouse." "Not for me," I said, "You can tee off there if you
want to but I'll tee off behind the barn somewhere."
"No, no," he said, "a tee is a little thing about the size of your little
finger."
"Yeah, I got one of those." "Well," he said, "You stick it in the ground and put
your ball on top of it." I asked, "Do you play golf sitting down? I always
thought that you stood up and walked around." "You do," he said, "You're
standing up when you put your ball on the tee.
Well, folks, I thought that was stretching things a little too far, and I said
so. He said, "You've got a bag, haven't you?" "Sure," I said. He said, "Your
balls are in it, aren't they?" "Of course," I told him.
"Well," he said, "can't you open the bag and take one out?" I said, "I suppose I
could," but damned if I was. He asked if I didn't have a zipper on my bag, but I
told him, "No, I'm the old fashioned type."
Then he asked me if I knew how to hold my club. Well, after fifty years, I
should have some sort of an idea, and I told him so. He said, "You take your
club in both hands," --Folks, I knew right then he didn't know what he was
talking about. Then he said, "You sling it over your left shoulder." "No, no,
that's not me, that's my brother you are thinking about." He asked me, "How do
you hold your club?"
And before I thought, I said, "In two fingers". He said that wasn't right and
got behind me and put both arms around me and told me to bend over and he would
show me how. He couldn't catch me there, because I didn't put four years in the
Navy for nothing. He said, "You hit the ball with your club and it will soar and
soar." I said I could well imagine. Then he said, "And when you're on the green."
- "What's the green?" I asked.
"That's where the hole is," he said. "Sure you are not color blind?" I asked.
"No, no. Then you take your putter" -- "What's the putter?" I asked. "That's the
smallest club made," he said. "That's what I've got, a putter."
And with it, he said, you put your ball in the hole. I corrected, you mean the
putter. He said, "The ball, the hole isn't big enough for the ball and the
putter too." Well - I've seen holes big enough for a horse and wagon. Then, he
said, after you make the first hole, you go on to the next seventeen.
He wasn't talking to me. After two holes, I'm shot to hell. You know, he said,
you can't make eighteen holes in one day? "Hell no, it takes me eighteen days to
make one hole, besides, how do I know when I'm in the eighteenth hole?" He said,
"The flag will go up."
That would be just my luck!
