There was a man named George who got a new job. His fellow
employees always met for a round of golf every Saturday. They asked George to
meet them at 10:00 Saturday morning. George replied that he would love to meet
them, but he may be 6 minutes late.
On Saturday morning George was there at exactly 10:00. He
golfed right handed and won the round. Following Saturday rolls around, and
George says that he will be there, but he may be 6 minutes late again. He shows
up right on time, golf's left handed, and wins the round.
This continues for the next few weeks, with George always
saying that he may be 6 minutes late, and then always winning the round
golfing, either left or right handed. The other employees are getting tired of
this, and decided to ask him what the deal was.
They said, ''George, every Saturday you say you may be six
minutes late. You never are. Then you show up and golf with either right handed
or left handed, and always win. What is up with that?
George replies, ''Well, I am a very superstitious kind of guy.
Every Saturday when I wake up, I look over at my wife. If she is sleeping on
her left side, I golf left handed. If she is sleeping on her right side, I golf
right handed.''
''Well,'' one of the employees questioned, ''What happens if
she is laying on her back?''
George replies, ''Then I am 6 minutes late.''
