Barking up wrong tree.
Editor's note: Do you need something to smile about?
Every day, WND selects the best joke offered up by readers and contributors to its Laughlines forum and brings it to you as the WND Joke of the Day. Here is today's
offering:
One afternoon, a young man, who was an avid golfer, found himself with a
couple of hours at his disposal. He quickly came to the conclusion that if he hurried
and played very fast, he could squeeze in nine holes on the fairways before he had to
attend a business dinner.
Just as he was about to tee off, an old-timer hobbled over and asked if he could
accompany the young man as he was golfing alone. Not able to refuse the request, he
allowed the old gent to join him.
To his surprise, the man played reasonably well. He didn't hit the ball far, but he
puttered along steadily and didn't waste time.
They reached the ninth fairway, and the young man found himself with a tough
shot.
There was a large oak tree right in front of him, directly between his ball and the
green. He considered how to take the shot for a good long while. Then the young man
heard the old man mutter, "You know, when I was your age, I'd hit the ball right over
that tree."
With that challenge placed before him, the youngster swung hard and hit the ball
right smack into the top of the tree trunk, from where it thudded back on the ground,
not an inch from where it had been originally.
The old man offered one more comment: "Of course, when I was your age, that
oak tree was only three feet tall."
