Welp, I gots another family story, this one is 'bout my cousin Horace and his friend, Cecil.

One day they were tryin' to git in a quick 18 holes of golf, but there were two terrible lady golfers in front of them hitting the ball everywhere but where it's supposed to go.

Horace says, "Why don't you go over and ask if we can play through?"

Cecil gits 'bout halfway there and comes back. Horace says, "What's wrong?"

Cecil says, "One of them is my wife and the other one is my mistress."

Horace says, "That could be a problem. I'll go over." Horace gits 'bout halfway there and comes back.

Cecil says, "What's wrong?"

To which Horace replied, "Small world."
