18 Holes<br />
My husband, an avid golf player couldn’t<br />
help challenging my boastful son to<br />
a game of golf. He was in for quite a<br />
surprise when on the first swing my son<br />
got a hole in one. “OK” my quick-thinking<br />
husband said while subtlety winking at<br />
me “now, I will take my practice shot, and<br />
then we will start.”<br />

After I waited patiently while my husband<br />
played a round of golf on our 18th<br />
wedding anniversary he and I went out to<br />
dinner at a lovely restaurant. We discussed<br />
many happy memories we’ve shared<br />
during the years. Then I said “Want to go<br />
for another 18?” “no” he replied “I think<br />
it’s too dark now.”<br />
A golfer hits a huge slice off the first<br />
tee. The ball soars over a fence and onto<br />
a highway, where it hits a car, which<br />
promptly crashes into a tree.<br />
The stunned golfer rushes into the golf<br />
shop and shouts, “Help! Help! I just hit a<br />
terrible slice off the first tee and hit a car<br />
and it crashed. What should I do?”<br />
And the pro says, “Try a slightly stronger<br />
grip.”<br />
On the phone with a golf buddy who has<br />
asked him to play, a guy says: “I am the<br />
master of my home and can play golf<br />
whenever I want. But hold on a minute<br />
while I find out if I want to.”<br />

THE BOSS ASKED FOR A<br />
LETTER DESCRIBING<br />
BOB SMITH:<br />
Bob Smith, my assistant<br />
programmer, can always be found<br />
hard at work in his cubicle. Bob<br />
works independently, without<br />
wasting company time talking<br />
to colleagues. Bob never thinks<br />
twice about assisting fellow<br />
employees, and he always finishes<br />
given assignments on time. Often<br />
Bob takes extended measures to<br />
complete his work, sometimes<br />
skipping coffee breaks. Bob is<br />
a dedicated individual who has<br />
absolutely no vanity in spite of his<br />
high accomplishments and profound<br />
knowledge in his field. I firmly<br />
believe that Bob can be classed as<br />
a high-caliber employee, the type<br />
which cannot be dispensed with.<br />
Consequently, I duly recommend<br />
that Bob be promoted to executive<br />
management, and a proposal will be<br />
executed as soon as possible.<br />
