One Golf Ball
Two golfing friends 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 ball?", he
asked.
"Nope, I only need one ball."
"Are you sure? What happens if you lose
that one?"
"This is a very special golf ball. You
can't lose it, so I don't need another one."
"What do you mean you can't lose it!
What happens if you slice your shot and the ball goes in
the lake?"
"That's okay, this special golf ball
senses when it's under water and it puts out a steam of
bubbles. I'll be able to retrieve it. You can't lose this
ball"
"Well what happens if you hit it into
the long rough?"
"No problem, you see, this ball can detect
the long grass and it sends up puffs of fluorescent smoke.
I'll be able to see it easily. You can't lose this ball"
Exasperated, the friend asks, "Okay.
Let's say our game goes late, the sun goes down, and you
hit your ball deep into the trees and it gets lost among
the bushes and shrubs?. What are you going to do then?"
"That's okay too. You see, this special
ball can sense the darkness and it makes a beeping sound.
I'll be able to get it back - no problem."
Finally satisfied that he needs only the one
amazing golf ball, the friend asks, "Hey, where did
you get a golf ball like that anyway?"
