After a particularly poor game of golf, the golfer skipped the "19th"
hole and headed straight for home. As he was walking to the parking lot
to get his car, a policeman stopped him and asked, "Did you tee off on
the sixteenth hole about twenty minutes ago?"

"Yes, I guess that would be about right," replied the golfer.

"Did you happen to hook your ball so that it went over the trees and
off the course?"

"Yes, I did. How did you know?" he asked.

"Well," said the policeman, "your ball flew out onto the highway and
crashed through a driver's windshield. That sent the car out of
control, and it crashed into five other cars and a fire truck!
As a result, the fire truck couldn't make it to the fire, so the
building burned down. It was a total loss. So, what are you going to do
about it?"

The golfer thought it over carefully and responded..."I think I'll
close my stance a little bit, tighten my grip and lower my right
thumb."
