Two Golf Twosomes

John and Hy were out playing golf on a nice Saturday afternoon. They were getting frustrated, though, because the two women who were playing right in front of them were quite slow and were holding up the men's game.

"Don't they know they're supposed to let us play through?" John asked.

"I guess not," Hy replied.

"I'm going to go ask them if we can play through," John said. "Enough is enough."

He started walking over toward the women, but as he got close, he suddenly turned around and came back, white as a ghost.

"Oh God," John said to his friend, "This is awful. You're going to have to ask them!"

"Why?" Hy asked.

"No sweat," Hy said -- but just as he was getting close, he turned around and came running back too.

"What happened?" John asked.

"Well, let me tell you," Hy said. "It's a small world!"
