Two lawyers, Jon and Chuck, head out for their usual nine holes of golf. Jon offers Chuck a bet. “Let’s say we bet $50.”
Chuck agrees, and they’re off.
After the 8th hole, Chuck is ahead by one stroke but cuts his ball into the rough on the 9th. “Help me find my ball. Look over there,” he said to Jon.
After a few minutes, neither have any luck, and since a lost ball carries a four-point penalty, Chuck pulls a ball from his pocket and tosses it to the ground. “I’ve found my ball!” he announces.
Jon looks at him. “After all of the years we’ve been partners and playing together, you’d cheat me out of a lousy 50 bucks?”
“What do you mean, cheat? I found my ball sitting right there!”
“And you’re a liar, too!” Jon said. “I’ll have you know I’ve been STANDING on your ball for the last five minutes!”
