Two lawyers, Lawrence and Milton, head out
for their usual 9 holes of golf. Lawrence offers Milton a bet. "Let's say we bet
$50." Milton agrees and they're off.
They are having a great game. After the 8th
hold, Milton is ahead by one stroke, but cuts his ball into the rough on the 9th.
"Help me find my ball. Look over there," he said to Lawrence.
After a few minutes, neither have any luck
and a lost ball carries a four point penalty, Milton pulls a ball from his pocket and
tosses it to the ground. "I've found my ball!" he announces.
Lawrence looks at him. "After all of
the years we've been partners and playing together, you'd cheat me out of a lousy 50
bucks?"
"What do you mean, cheat? I found my
ball sitting right there!"
"And you're a liar, too!"
Lawrence said. "I'll have you know I've been STANDING on your ball for the last five
minutes!"
