Los
Angeles – There is a certain legend about the legendary golf
hustler, fast buck artist and traveling man, Titanic Thompson.
One
day during a heated round on a desert golf course, Titanic bet
another gambling fool that he knew the exact weight of a certain
boulder that lay near the beaten track, hard by the green.
The
dude took the bet, the money went down, and out from town came the
crane with its spring scale.
Sure
enough, Titanic's estimate was right on the money. He won the dough.
As
the crane operator was loading up, fixing to leave, someone asked
him, “Is this a pretty elaborate setup, or what? I mean, over a
golf bet, you know...”
That's
when the guy replied, “Yeah, I know. And it's the second time I've
been out here today to weigh the damn thing...”
