- I've now seen two different GGBJ jokes posted on this group. The first
- concerned a one-eyed prostitute :-) and the other was a moral tale about
- a father and his young son ;-D.
-
- Ho hum... So much for green golf balls. Here's a joke about another
- kind of golf ball; enjoy.
-
- *******************
- Two guys go out to play golf one day. They've played a couple of holes
- and are teeing off at the third when the first guy gets a wicked slice
- on his drive and the ball disappears into an adjacent wood. They both
- go and start to hunt for it, but the undergrowth is thick and, after a
- couple of minutes, the second guy decides it's a lost cause.
-
- "I think this is a waste of time, don't you?" he says to his companion.
- "We're never going to find it in here. You'd better play another off
- the tee."
-
- "Oh, I don't know," says the other. "Watch this."
-
- He lets out a shrill whistle. Immediately, a faint beeping can be heard
- from close by. A couple of seconds later, the first guy has tracked it
- down to his ball, lying in a not-too-difficult position. The second guy
- is surprised, but says nothing as his companion plays his second shot out
- on to the fairway.
-
- A few holes later, the first guy is playing a longish pitch across a pond
- to the green when he duffs his shot straight into the water. The second
- guy is speechless with amazement a couple of seconds later when the ball
- rises to the surface and swims out, a propellor retracting inside it as
- it comes to land.
-
- Later still, the first guy hooks a drive out of bounds over a hedge. As
- they approach near the place where the ball disappeared, he lets out a
- low-pitched whistle. A couple of seconds later, the ball flies back over
- the hedge, now using its propellor as a miniature helicopter blade. It
- drops on the fairway. The second guy is absolutely flabbergasted.
-
- "I can't believe your ball!" he exclaims. "It beeps when you lose it in
- rough, it swims out of water hazards and now, to cap it all, it flies!!
- It's unnatural! Where the hell did you get a ball like that?"
-
- "Oh," says his companion, "I found it..."
