Is this a joke?
-
Received this in my mail today. Should be a joke, but I don't get it. I'm probably just braindead today. Anyone care to explain? "A man was about to tee off on the golf course when he felt a tap on his shoulder and a man handed him a card that read "I am mute. I am not able to speak. May I play through, please?" The first man angrily gave the card back, and communicated that "No, he may not play through, and that his handicap did not give him such a right." He whacked the ball onto the green and left to finish the hole. Just as he was about to put the ball into the hole he was hit in the head with a golf ball, laying him out cold. When he came to a few minutes later, he looked around and saw the mute sternly looking at him, holding up 4 fingers." ----------------------- New and improved: kwakkelflap.com My first CP article: Pseudoregisters[^] "When I hear of Schrödinger's cat, I reach for my gun." - Stephen Hawking

when a golfer hits the ball and it is danger of being close to someone else it is good manners to shout Four (fore ?) as a warning.

Ahhhhh. Sort of like yelling Timber. Don't know anything about golf (only that it's a game with little balls, a stick and a hole in the ground). ----------------------- New and improved: kwakkelflap.com My first CP article: Pseudoregisters[^] "When I hear of Schrödinger's cat, I reach for my gun." - Stephen Hawking

Aye. Also laughed, it's a good joke if you know golf terms. Problem was also the confusion. Over here, it's custom to hold up 4 fingers if you want a light. Reason being: it's hard to yell for one in a crowded, loud pub. 4 is "vier" in Dutch, which is the same as Fire (vier in our dialect). ----------------------- New and improved: kwakkelflap.com My first CP article: Pseudoregisters[^] "When I hear of Schrödinger's cat, I reach for my gun." - Stephen Hawking
