Bob Huntley,
I think you'll like this one.
A few years back a good friend's daughter married Brad Faxon
A number of golfers are at my friend's house when Brad starts telling everyone about the water proof slacks he's recently purchased and that the fellow who represents the company that makes them is stopping by to drop some off.
The rep comes to my friend's house, shows the slacks to everyone, tells everyone how terrific they are, demonstrates how effective they are by pouring alot of water on them, and as a result a bunch of the fellows place orders for a number of slacks.
One of my very good friends, a great guy and a spectacular golfer, Terry McBride, orders a number of the water proof slacks.
About a month or so later they come in.
About another month or so later, after a round in an event that almost got rained out, we're sitting around outside, having some drinks and talking about golf and how lucky we were that we didn't get drenched, when Terry says words to the effect that it wouldn't have bothered him. So a bunch of guys say, why not ?
And he says, because he bought these special water proof slacks that the guys on tour, like Brad Faxon, wear when they think it's going to rain, and that they are incredibly effective in that no water will get through and you'll be as dry as can be.
So the guys say, "No way. Are you serious" ? He says "yeah", wait a second and he tells the waitress to bring him a big pitcher of water. So, she brings a big pitcher, filled to the brim and he says, "watch this" and proceeds to pour the entire pitcher on his lap.
One problem.
He forgot he wasn't wearing the water proof pants that day.
We still laugh and kid him and ask him to demonstrate how effective the water proof pants are.
