| The mistress of an English Tudor country house had just hired a new house maid, an Irish lass, straight from a farm. The first day she was dusting in the Smoking Room where the Master of the house sat reading. On the mantel, she saw a small bowl containing a couple of round white balls. She, being curious and not bashful, asked, "What are these?" He looked up, saw where she was pointing, and answered, "Golf balls." She said, "Oh!" and went on dusting. A few days later, she was dusting again in the same room, where the master was again reading. Again, in the same bowl were white balls, only now there were four. She said, "I see you shot another Golf." |
