Two lawyers, Jon and Bill, head out for their usual nine holes of golf. Jon offers Bill a $50 bet, which Bill accepts.
They play a great game. After the eighth hole, Bill is ahead by one stroke, but he slices his ball into the rough on the ninth.
"Help me find my ball. Look over there," he says to Jon. After a few minutes of searching with no luck, and knowing a lost ball carries a four-stroke penalty, Bill secretly pulls a ball from his pocket and tosses it to the ground.
"I've found my ball!" he announces.
"After all the years we've been partners and played together," Jon says, "you'd cheat me out of a lousy fifty bucks?"
"What do you mean, cheat? I found my ball sitting right there!"
"And you're a liar, too!" Jon replies. "I'll have you know I've been standing on your ball for the last five minutes!"
