A golfer hits his ball into a yard next to the golf course.

 

As he goes to get it a man in the yard says, "Don't you see

the sign? It says, 'Private property - Stay Out!'"

 

The golfer says, "I'm sorry I did not see it. That is my

ball there. May I have it, please?"

 

The man says, "It's in my yard and so it's my ball now."

 

The golfer looks at the man and says, "I understand."

 

He then walks back to the golf cart, gets another golf ball,

then walks back and throws it into the yard.

 

The man says, "What is that for?"

 

The golfer replies, "I consider myself a gentleman, and I

believe every prick should have two balls."
