An American goes over to Ireland to visit his ancestral home and whilst there he decides he will have a game of golf but being on his own needs to arrange a partner.
He takes himself so the local golf club, explains he would like to play but he’s got no one to play with. Paddy’s your man explains the secretary and gives the American Paddy’s number.
The American phones Paddy and they arrange to play the next day. Paddy tells him he will be there for a 9 am start but he could be 30 mins late.
Sure enough Paddy turns up on time with a left hand set of golf clubs and proceeds to give the American a lesson at golf, beating him easily.
The American, not happy with getting beat so easily asks Paddy to play him again the next day. Paddy agrees and says he will meet him at 9 am but he could be 30 mins late.
The next day Paddy arrives on time but this time with a right hand set of clubs. Similar to the day before he beats the American but it’s a little closer.
The American, not use to getting beat is determined to get the better of Paddy and challenges him again. Paddy agrees and says he will meet him at 9 am but he could be 30 mins.
The American says every day you have said you might be late and arrived on time but on day one you played with left hand clubs and on the second day you played with right handed clubs, what’s the craic?
Paddy explains, when I wake up if the wife is laid on her left side I play left handed and if she’s laid on her right hand side I play right handed.
The American asks, what if she is laid on her back?
I’m 30 minutes late replied Paddy.
