I originally hear it a few yars ago in this version:
On a golf tour in Ireland, Tiger Woods drives his Porsche into a petrol station in a remote part of the Irish countryside. The pump attendant who knows nothing about golf, greets him in a typical Irish manner, completely unaware of who the golf pro is.
"Top of the mornin' to yer, sir" says the attendant. Tiger nods a quick "hello" and bends forward to pick up the nozzle. As he does so, two tees fall out of his shirt pocket onto the ground.
"What are those, son?" asks the attendant. "They're called tees" replies Tiger. "Well, what on the good earth are they for?" inquires the Irishman. "They're for resting my balls on when I'm driving", says Tiger. "Feckin Jaysus", says the Irishman, " Porsche thinks of everything
