A guy is golfing with his buddy and when they approach the 5th hole with a water hazard, he takes a fire engine red golf ball out of his bag and tees it up. The buddy notices the unusual ball and asks his friend all about it. "Well," his friend says, "this ball is the one I use when I am afraid I could lose a ball on a hole. If I hit this ball into a thick rough, there is an electronic homing device in the ball that will automatically activate itself and I can locate it underneath the grass by listening for the sound being emitted."
"Wow," remarks his friend, but what happens if you hit the ball into a water hazard like the one on this hole?"
"If the ball goes into water, it has two little flotation devices that spring out and the ball just lies on the surface of the water so that I can easily see it. Then a little internal motor starts up and a rudder and propeller protrude from the sides and the ball zeros in on the shoreline and I don't have to do anything but wait for it to come to land."
"That's just amazing," remarks the friend, but what happens if the ball gets buried in a sand trap?"
"Oh, that one is easy," replied the guy. "The ball has a little scooping device that becomes activated and it allows the ball to burrow through the sand until it gets to the surface where it can be seen."
"Gosh," remarked the friend in utter amazement, "can you tell me where I can get a ball like this?"
"I don't know," replied the friend, I just found it."
