Je kent ze wel. Die types die nooit om een goede soundbite verlegen zitten. Korte en bondige one-liners en voor je het weet kun je de politiek in. Nou dat laatste gaan we dus niet doen, maar een leuke wisecrack is nooit weg.
Je begrijpt het inmiddels ook wel: de engelstalige versies zijn helemaal in.

Om te wennen hebben we er een stel gevonden om met jullie te delen. Weet je ook een goede? Let us know!

ONE OF THE ADVANTAGES BOWLING HAS OVER GOLF IS THAT YOU SELDOM LOSE A BOWLING BALL - Don Carter

YOU CAN MAKE A LOT OF MONEY IN THIS GAME. JUST ASK MY EX-WIVES, BOTH OF THEM ARE SO RICH THAT NEITHER OF THEIR HUSBANDS WORK Lee Trevino.

A LITTLE GIRL WAS AT HER FIRST GOLF LESSON WHEN SHE ASKED HER INSTRUCTOR: "IS THE WORD SPELT P-U-T OR P-U-T-T ?" HE REPLIED "P-U-T-T IS CORRECT. P-U-T MEANS TO PLACE A THING WHERE YOU WANT IT AND P-U-T-T MEANS MERELY A VAIN ATTEMPT TO DO THE SAME THING."

ART SAID HE WANTED TO GET MORE DISTANCE. I TOLD HIM TO HIT IT AND THEN RUN BACKWARD. Ken Venturi on Art Rosenbaum.

MY BODY IS HERE, BUT MY MIND HAS ALREADY TEED OFF

Confession Out on the golf course with his wife, the husband says: "Twenty years ago I had a brief affair. It meant nothing. I hope you can forgive me." His wife was hurt, but said: "Dearest, those days are long gone. What we have now is far more valuable. I forgive you." They embraced and kissed. On the seventeenth tee, the husband was starting his back swing when the wife blurted out, "I'm sorry darling, I've been so stricken about what you told me, but since we're being honest with each other, I have something to tell you also. Fifty-two years ago I had a sex change operation. I was a man before I met you. I hope you can forgive me." The husband, froze at the top of his back swing, then lost his temper! He slammed the driver into the ground, kicked the ball into the woods, stormed off the tee, pushed the golf cart over on its side, broke the rest of his clubs one by one, then started on her clubs. He screamed: "You liar! You cheat! You despicable deceiver! How could you? I trusted you with all my heart and soul ....... and all these years you've been playing off the LADIES TEES?!?!" Some things are sacred.

I READ THE GREENS IN SPANISH, BUT PUTT IN ENGLISH. Chi Chi Rodriguez

Eentje in het Nederlands dan: Een echtpaar speelt golf. Op de 5e hole vraagt ze: "Als ik eerder sterf dan jij, zou je dan nog een keer trouwen?" "Als de ware zich aandient, misschien wel". Tussen hole 7 en 8 vraagt ze: "En zou ze van je met mijn set mogen spelen?" "Dat denk ik niet, ze is linkshandig."

RELAX? HOW CAN ANYBODY RELAX AND PLAY GOLF? YOU HAVE TO GRIP THE CLUB, DON'T YOU? Ben Hogan
