Golf
Sitting at the bar after a game, Joe said to a club member, "I'm not about to play golf with Jim Walsh anymore."
"Why not?"
"Well, he found his lost ball two feet from the green," said Joe.
"That's possible."
"Not when I had his ball in my pocket!"
Behind every successful man is a suprised woman.

Why don't figure skaters get nauseous when spinning?
The great figure skaters can make as many as six revolutions per second. Since that would make most of us decorate the ice with our dinner, these folks must know something that we don't. Indeed, they do. Skating
instructors can teach even amateurs not to get dizzy in a spin, but they must have apt pupils. Actually it's the pupils who must have apt pupils because the trick is in the eyes. Dizziness results from rapid eye movement
as skaters focus on objects flying by. The trick is to keep the eyes still by imagining a fixed blurred line and focusing on it. I tried that once and imagined a buffet table. It didn't work.
