  mkg335:

  Years ago (we're talking 40 years, so actually decades ago) a very good friend was golf coach at a local college.  When the team would take a road trip, he'd invite me along and list me as an assistant coach so I could play for free.  We'd usually tee it up with coaches from a couple of the other teams.

  I'd usually make up a name just for kicks.  On one particular trip I signed in as Dr. William Doctor, PhD.  Spent some time on the way to the course rehearsing so I'd get it right.  We met the other coaches at the first tee.  Shaking hands with the other two coaches, I introduced myself to each one like so, saying as fast as I could,  "Hi, Doctor Bill Doctor doctor of philosophy philosophy."

  The combination of the looks on their faces and my friend trying rather unsuccessfully to stifle a laugh made it all worthwhile. 

  Hahaha, that's a good one! Almost everything I order online or any form I fill out that has space for Company/Organization, I usually put in "Department of Redundancy Dept.". I just wonder how many people see that and get a laugh. Just reminded me of that.

  First use I remember of "Department of Redundancy Department" was on Firesign Theater's Don't Crush that Dwarf, Hand Me the Pliers LP.  Those guys were brilliant.

  Not particularly funny but I'm probably one of a small number of people who have hit a golf ball that was stuck in a tree.

  At my local course there were very few trees, some of these few being down the left side of the 18th fairway.  One round I pulled my tee shot and hit a small pine tree, the ball rattled around in the branches and dropped into a fork of one of the lowest branches, about 7 feet off the ground.

  I was able to get a swing at it but did little more than knock it to the ground and I failed to save par  : (

  So, not funny at all in fact.

  I was wasting my life watching silly YouTube videos earlier and this made me laugh.

  Who knows, maybe there were golf balls in there.

  We'll forgive you, as long as you voted banana.
