Near the end of a tense golf match, a temperamental player was thrown
off his game. His caddie, it seems, had developed a severe case of
hiccups. It continued for several holes and finally on the eighteenth hole the man's drive sliced into a grove of trees. Slamming his club to the ground, he turned on his caddie. "That was because of you and your hiccups!"
"But, I didn't hiccup then, sir," protested the caddie.
"That's just the point," screamed the player. "I had 'allowed' for it!"
