Ten Minutes Late
George has just got a new job. His fellow employees always meet for a round of golf every Saturday. They invite George to play with them and instruct him to be there at exactly 10am. George replies that he would love to meet them, but that he may be 10 minutes late...
On Saturday morning George arrives at exactly 10:00. He played the round right handed and beats everyone.
Next Saturday rolls around, and George says that he will be there, but he may be 10 minutes late again. He shows up right on time, golfs left handed, and wins the round. This continues for the next few weeks, with Geoge always saying that he may be 10 minutes late, and then always winning the round golfing, either left or right handed.
The other employees get tired of this and decide to ask him what the deal is. They ask, ''George, every Saturday you say you may be ten 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?''
George 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 asks cleverly, ''What happens if she is lying on her back??''. George replies,
''Then I am 10 minutes late.''
