Golfing Around
A foursome of ladies came back after a round of golf. In the Clubhouse, the Pro asked them, “How did your game go?”
The first said she had a good round with 25 riders. The second said she did OK with 16 riders. The third said not too bad since I had 10 riders. The fourth was disappointed and said she played badly with only 2 riders.
The Pro was confounded by this term “rider” but not wanting to show his ignorance just smiled and wished them better golf next time. He then approached Jerry the groundskeeper and ask, “Jerry, can you tell me what does this term ‘riders’ means?” Jerry smiled and explained that a “rider” is when you have hit a shot long enough to take a ride on the golf cart to the next shot.
Deer Hunting
Two hunters were dragging their dead deer back to their car. Another hunter approached pulling his along, too.
“Hey, I don’t want to tell you how to do something… but I can tell you that it’s much easier if you drag the deer in the other direction. Then the antlers won’t dig into the ground.”
After the third hunter left, the two decided to try it. A little while later one hunter said to the other, “You know, that guy was right. This is a lot easier!”
“Yeah, but we’re getting farther from the truck,” the other added.
