COULD NOT FIGURE OUT GAME OF GOLF

There is an amusing story told of a man who had a clock golf course laid out on his front lawn. He was having his house painted, and one morning the boss painter came to him and said: “Don’t you think you had better have a real sun dial put on your lawn?” The owner did not quite see the drift of the remark, and asked why he should do such a thing. He received this reply: “Well, for half an hour this morning I tried to figure out the time by that contraption you have on your front lawn, but no matter how I figured it, I couldn’t make head or tall out of It. So I thought that you might like to put up a sun dial that everybody could understand.”
