JOTD: An old man and a young man are playing golf and both shank it off the tee to where there is a massive oak between them and the hole. The old man lays up to the fairway then turns to see the young man. The young man turns to lay up also until the old man looks at him and says "you know when I was young and strong like you I hit it over this tree onto the green." The young man changes direction, hits the ball as hard as he can, and it flies into the tree bouncing out into the lake. As the young man turns and looks angrily at the old man he says "then again when I was your age that tree was 7 feet tall."
