MACK THE SLICE, the notorious duffer, unwound on the first tee and sent a high drive far off to the right. The ball sailed through an open window, and figuring no damage had been done, Mack played on. On the eighth hole a police officer walked up to Mack and asked, Did you hit a ball through that window? Yes I did. Well, it knocked a lamp over, scaring the dog, who raced out of the house onto the highway. A driver rammed into a brick wall to avoid the dog, sending three people to the hospital. And all because you sliced the ball. Im so sorry, Mack apologized. Is there anything I can do? Well, the cop replied, try keeping your head down and close up your stance a bit.
