Title:  Jack Spratt's  10 Minutes Late  



"10 Minutes Late"

So, there are three golfers, (Bob, Max and Ted) 
who are looking for a fourth. 

Bob mentions that his friend George is a pretty 
good golfer, so they decide to invite him for 
the following Saturday.

"Sure, I'd love to play," says George, "but I may be 
about ten minutes late, so wait for me."

So Saturday rolls around. Bob, Max, and Ted arrive 
promptly at 9:00 and find George already waiting for 
them. He plays right-handed and beats them all.

Quite pleased with their new fourth, they ask him if 
he'd like to play again the following  Saturday.

"Yeah, sounds great," says George. "But I maybe 
about ten minutes late, so wait for me."

The following Saturday, again, all four golfers show 
up on time, but this time George plays left-handed 
and beats them all. So they're getting ready to 
leave, George says, "See you next Saturday, but I 
may be about ten minutes late, so wait for me." 

Every week, George is right on time and plays 
great with whichever hand he decides to use.  
And every week, he departs with the same 
message.

After a couple months, Ted is pretty tired of this
routine, so he says, "Wait a minute, George. Every 
week you say you may be about ten minutes late, 
but you're right on time. You beat us either left-handed 
or right-handed. What's the story?"

"Well," George says, "I'm kind of superstitious. When 
I get up in the morning, I look at my wife. If she's 
sleeping on her left side, I play left-handed, and if 
she's sleeping on her right side, I play right-handed."

"So what do you do if she's sleeping on her back?" 
Bob asks.

"Well...  That's when I'm about ten minutes late."
