Friends
Nick and Lou head out for a quick round of golf. Since
they are short on time, they decide to play only 9 holes.
Nick says to Lou, "Let's say we make the time worth the
while, at least for one of us, and spot $5 on the lowest
score for the day."
Lou agrees and they enjoy a great game. After the 8th hole,
Lou is ahead by 1 stroke, but cuts his ball into the rough
on the 9th.
"Help me find my ball; you look over there," he says to
Nick.
After 5 minutes, neither has had any luck, and since a lost
ball carries a two-stroke penalty, Lou pulls a ball from
his pocket and tosses it to the ground.
"I've found my ball!" he announces triumphantly.
Nick looks at him forlornly, "After all the years we've
been friends, you'd cheat me on golf for a measly five bucks?"
"What do you mean cheat? I found my ball sitting right here!"
"And a liar, too!" Nick says with amazement.
"I'll have you know I've been standing on your ball for
the last five minutes!"
