Ten Minutes Late....

There was a man named John who got a new job. His fellow employees always met for a round of golf every Saturday. They asked John to meet them at 10:00 Saturday morning. John replied that he would love to meet them, but he may be 10 minutes late.

On Saturday morning John was there at exactly 10:00. He golfed right-handed and won the round.

Next Saturday rolls around, and John says that he will be there, but he may be 10 minutes late again. He shows up right on time, golf's left-handed, and wins the round. This continues for the next few weeks, with John always saying that he may be 10 minutes late, and then always winning the round golfing, either left- or right-handed.

The other employees are getting tired of this, and decided to ask him what the deal was. They said, “John, every Saturday you say you may be 10 minutes late. You never are. Then you show up and golf either right-handed or left-handed, and always win. What is up with that?”

John replies, “Well, I am a very superstitious kind of guy. Every Saturday when I wake up, I look over at my wife. If she is sleeping on her left side, I golf left-handed. If she is sleeping on her right side, I golf right-handed.”

“Well,” one of the employees questioned, “What happens if she is laying on her back?”

John replies, “Then I am 10 minutes late.”
