“I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife,” he tells the doctor, “when she sliced her ball into a pasture of cows. we went to look for it, and I noticed one of the cows had something white in its rear end. I walked over and lifted up the tail, and sure enough, there was my wife’s golf ball stuck right in the cow’s butt. That’s when I made my mistake.”
