A guy, who is from out of town is visiting a golf club. He gets paired up with one of the members and when they play a round and the guy shoots par, the member is amazed. He has never seen anyone come in who was left-handed and shoot par on a course he never played before, so his mind starts to think how he can make some easy money off the situation. He asks the man if he can play the next day at 10 a.m.; that there is a group they can play against for money and it is a sure thing. The guys says, "yes, I can play then but I will be two minutes late."
Sure enough, the out of towner shows up two minutes late, plays the entire round right-handed and he and his partner take all of the money. His partner is amazed that the out of towner can not only play left-handed but equally well from the right side. He then asks the man if he can play the next day at 11 am; that he has another group of bigwig golfers lined up and the money will be theirs for the taking. The guy tells him, "yes, I can make it, but I will be two minutes late."
Sure enough, the next day he is there two minutes late, he golfs left-handed and he and his partner win lots of money again. His partner then asks him is he can play again the following day and the same scenario takes place. After they win again, the club member says to the out of towner, "I noticed that on one day you played left-handed and the next day you played right-handed and then the following day, you played left-handed again and equally well, I might add. Please tell me how you know on any given day which side you will play from?"
"Oh, that's easy," said the man. "If my wife is sleeping on her right side when I wake up in the morning, I play from the right side. If she is sleeping on her left side, I play from the left side."
"Well," replied the member, "what if she is sleeping on her back?"
"Oh, that's when I am two minutes late."
