A new woman lawyer joined their law firm. One day she overheard the remaining three talking about their golf round at the coffee table.



Curious, she spoke up, "You know, I used to play on my

golf team in college and I was pretty good. Would you

mind if I joined you next week?"



The three lawyers looked at each other. They were

hesitant. Not one of them wanted to say 'yes', but

she had them on the spot. Finally one man said it

would be okay, but they would be starting pretty early

at 6:30 am. He figured the early Tee-Time would

discourage her immediately.



The woman said this might be a problem and asked if

she could possibly be up to 15 minutes late. They

rolled their eyes but said this would be okay. She

smiled and said, "Good, then I'll be there either at

6:30 or 6:45."



She showed up right at 6:30 and wound up beating all

three of them with an eye-opening 2-under par round.

She was a fun and pleasant person the entire round.

The guys were impressed! Back in the clubhouse they congratulated her and happily invited her back the next week! She smiled and said "Sure, I'll be here at 6:30 or 6:45 ."



The next week she again showed up at 6:30 Saturday

morning. Only this time, she played left-handed. The

three lawyers were incredulous as she still managed to

beat them with an even par round despite playing with

her off-hand.



By now the guys were totally amazed, but wondered if

she was just trying to make them look bad by beating

them left-handed. They couldn't figure her out. She

was again very pleasant and didn't seem to be showing

them up, but each man began to harbor a burning desire

to beat her!



In the third week they all had their game faces on.

But this week she was 15 minutes late! This had the

guys irritable because each was determined to play the

best round of golf of his life to beat her. As they

waited for her, they figured her late arrival was some

petty gamesmanship on her part.



Finally she showed up.



This week the lady lawyer played right-handed which

was a good thing since she narrowly beat all three of

them. However she was so gracious and so

complimentary of their strong play, it was hard to

keep a grudge against her. This woman was a riddle no

one could figure out!



Back in the clubhouse she had all three guys shaking

their heads at her ability. They had a couple beers

after their round which helped the conversation

loosen up.



Finally one of the men could contain his curiosity no

longer. He asked her point blank, "How do you decide

if you're going to golf right-handed or left-handed?"



The lady blushed and grinned. She said, "That's easy.

When my dad taught me to play golf, I learned I was ambidextrous. I have always had fun switching back and forth. Then when I met my husband in college and got married, I discovered he always sleeps in the nude. From then on I developed a silly habit. Right before I left in the morning for golf practice, I would pull the covers off him. If his you-know-what was pointing to the right, I golfed right-handed; if it was pointed to the left, I golfed left-handed. All the girls on the team thought this was hysterical."



Astonished at this bizarre information, one of the

guys shot back, "But what if it's pointed straight up

in the air?"







She said, "Then I'm fifteen minutes late."
