Fun stuff

Since I don't want to bore you with all the tournaments that go on this time of year, I will steal something sent to my e-mail.

Although this isn't related to golf, one of the dumbest phone calls that came into the bank where I worked many moons ago was a lady that asked if all her checks were in. Like the bank was supposed to know how many she had written.

How about you? Any dumb or funny phone calls?
