The Blind Man Who Wanted to Play The Pro Golfer at Night

One day a very conceited pro golfer was approached by a man wearing dark glasses and carrying a white cane who offered to play him for $100 a hole. “Why, I can’t play you,” the professional protested. “You’re blind, aren’t you?” “Yes, I am,” replied the man. “But that’s all right. I was a state champion before I went blind. I think I can beat you.” Now the conceited one had not been doing well lately and he needed the money. Anyway, blind or not, if the guy was crazy enough to challenge him...well, why not? “You did say $100 a hole?” The blind man nodded. “Well, all right. It’s a deal. But don’t say I didn’t warn you–you’ll lose your money. When would you like to play?"  “Any night at all,” replied the blind man. “Any night at all.” (Source unknown; Lou Nicholes - Missionary/Author).
