Off
the seventh tee, Joe sliced his shot deep into a wooded ravine. He took his
eight iron and clambered down the embankment in search of his lost ball.
After many long minutes of hacking at the underbrush, he spotted something glistening in the leaves. As he drew nearer, he discovered that it was an eight iron in hands of a skeleton!
Joe immediately called out to his friend, "Jack, I've got trouble down here!"
"What's the matter?" Jack asked from the edge of the ravine.
"Bring me my wedge," Joe shouted. "You can't get out of here with an eight iron!"

My husband, Ray, was attempting to build a patio for the first time. He bought 100 cement blocks. Laying them out in a pattern, he discovered the chosen area was too small.
He stacked the blocks against the house and cleared more space. The next day Ray put the cement blocks back down, only to find that the ground was too hard to keep the patio level.
He ordered a truckload of sand to be delivered the following morning. Again he stacked the 100 blocks against the house.
Observing all this, our next-door neighbor asked, "Ray, are you going to put your patio away every night?"

A defendant was on trial for murder. There was strong
evidence indicating guilt, but there was no corpse. In the defense's closing
statement the lawyer, knowing that his client would probably be convicted,
resorted to a trick.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise
for you all," the lawyer said as he looked at his watch. "Within one
minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into this
courtroom."
He looked toward the courtroom door. The jurors, somewhat
stunned, all looked on eagerly. A minute passed. Nothing happened.
Finally the lawyer said, "Actually, I made up the
previous statement. But, you all looked on with anticipation. I therefore put
to you that you have a reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was
killed and insist that you return a verdict of not guilty."
The jury, clearly confused, retired to deliberate. A few
minutes later, the jury returned and pronounced a verdict of guilty.
"But how?" inquired the lawyer. "You must
have had some doubt. I saw all of you stare at the door."
