A bit over 25 years ago, when a local TV news anchor of renown passed on and his survivors on the news crew had a memorial where basically they sat around in a studio and told stories about him, the sports reporter mentioned an incident on a golf course where he, the late anchor, and two others were playing. Another player in their foursome had “a four-foot putt for something like quadruple bogey,” as sports guy put it, and left his putt something like two feet short.
Now, the anchor was said to be the kind of guy who would never say a bad word about anybody; but he leaned over to sports guy and said conspiratorially, “That’s funny; most guys would’ve gone for it.” Sports guy collapsed on the green in paroxysms of laughter. He was sure that the other player was convinced sports guy was laughing at his lousy putt, when in actuality he was laughing at the surreptitious joke the anchor made about his lousy putt.
