After a particularly poor game of golf, Jim skipped the clubhouse and started to go home. As he was walking to the parking lot to get his car, a cop stopped him and asked, "Did you tee off on the 16th hole about twenty minutes ago?"
"Yes," Jim responded.
"Did you happen to hook your ball so that it went over the trees and off the course?"
"Yes, I did. How did you know?"
"Well," said the policeman very seriously, "Your ball flew out onto the highway and crashed through a driver's windshield. The car went out of control, crashing into five other cars and a fire truck. The fire truck couldn't make it to the fire, and the building burned down. So, what are you going to do about it?"
Jim thought it over carefully and responded...
"I think I'll close my stance a little bit, tighten my grip and lower my right thumb."
