A man had to go to a strange town to be the guest speaker at a
business meeting. When he arrived at the Motel in town, he found that
he had a lot of time before the meeting. He asked the clerk where the
nearest golf course was and was given directions on how to get there.
While playing on the front nine, he was going over the speech in his
mind and became confused as to where he was on the course. Looking
around, he saw a lady playing ahead of him. He walked up to her and told
her about his big meeting and the speech he was to make and his confusion
about where he was on the course, asked her if she knew what hole he was
playing. She replied " I'm on the 7th hole and you are a hole behind me,
so you must be on the 6th hole". He thanked her and went back to his golf.
On the back nine the same thing happened. And he approached her again
with the same request. She said "I'm on the 14th, you are a hole behind
me, So you must be on the 13th". Once again he thanked her and returned
to his play.
He finished his round and went into the club house where he saw the lady
sitting at the end of the bar. He asked the bartender if he knew the
lady. The bartender said that she was a sales lady and played the course
often. He approached her and said "let me buy you a drink to show my
appreciation for your help. I understand that you are a sales lady,
well, I am in sales also. What do you sell"?
She replied, "if I told you, you would only laugh". "No I wouldn't",
he said and persisted that she tell him what she sold. "Well if you
must know", she answered, "I sell Tampax".
With that, he fell on the floor and laughed so hard he almost lost
his breath. She said "see I knew you would laugh". "That's not what
I'm laughing at" he replied, "I'm a toilet paper salesman, so I'm still
a hole behind you"!
