... the plan was so elaborate he also catered for his quick escape in case he was caught in the act . . .

(is it just me or is there no spell checker anymore?)

George just wanted to "play a round". Quite the swinger you know. I won't even go into him counting all his strokes.

When AI can figure out how to do stuff like this on its own that's when the human race is officially no longer needed here.

Lucky to have a golf-cart. In my young working days I had to rely on a couple of house bricks as chocks.

On one occasions I was on a 50ft extension ladder and it slipped down the wall and I fell off.

I was not hurt at all - luckily it slipped when I was on the bottom rung!

oh, ya,... well when I was your age, we didn't have those fancy-dancy golf clubs where the head looks like a snow shovel. Or those fancy dancy golf balls that are guarantee to add 20-50 yards on your drive.

In my day, we had a rock and a stick.... and we were happy.

"Hmmm", thought McGuiver. "I have a golf cart, a ladder, a two by four and a cinder block. -- Using those I think I can get my ejector seat off of the roof!"

As it turns out, Exhibit A at the trial was an image of a ladder on a golf cart, proving it to be the REAL inspiration for the song...
