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. He then asked
her if she could tell him what hole he was playing, to which she replied, "I'm on the 7th
hole and you're a hole behind me. That must mean you're on the 6th hole." He thanked
her and went back to playing his game.
On the back nine the same thing happened. 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 clubhouse where he saw the lady sitting at the
end of the bar. He asked the bartender if he knew the lady. The bartender told him that
she is a salesperson and plays the course often. He approached the lady and said, "Let
me buy you a drink to show my appreciation for your help on the course today. I understand
you're in the sales industry. I'm also in sales. What is it that 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 says to him, "See, I knew you would
laugh."
"That's not what I'm laughing at," he said. "I'm a toilet paper salesman. So, I guess that
still makes me a hole behind you!"
