A man had to go to a strange town to be the
guest speaker at a business
meeting. When he arrived at the Motel in town, he found
that he had a lot
of time before the meeting. He asked the clerk where
the nearest golf
course was and was given directions on how to get there.
While playing on the front nine, he was going over the
speech in his mind
and became confused as to where he was on the course.
Looking around, he
saw a Lady playing ahead of him. He walked up to her
and told her about
his big meeting and the speech he was to make and his
confusion about
where he was on the course, asked her if she knew what
hole he was
playing. She replied " I'm on the 7th hole and you are
a hole behind me,
so you must be on the 6th hole". He thanked her and went
back to his golf.
On the back nine the same thing happened. and he approached
her again with
the same request. She said "I'm on the 14th, you are
a hole behind me, So
you must be on the 13th". Once again he thanked her and
returned to his play.
He finished his round and went into the club house where
he saw the Lady
sitting at the end of the bar. He asked the bartender
if he knew the Lady.
The bartender said that she was a sales lady and played
the course often.
He approached her and said, "let me buy you a drink to
show my
appreciation for your help. I understand that you are
a sales lady, well I
am in sales also. What do you sell"? She replied, "if
I told you, you
would only laugh". "No I wouldn't", he said and persisted
that she tell
him what she sold. "Well if you must know", she answered,
"I sell Tampex".
With that, he fell on the floor and laughed so hard he
almost lost his
breath. She said "see I knew you would laugh". "That's
not what I'm
laughing at" he replied, "I'm a toilet paper salesman,
so I'm still a hole
behind you"!
