Two men were out golfing. They were having a good day, and were really moving along the course. On the 12th hole, they see they are going to run into a couple of women.
These women were clearly terrible golfers. They were chipping their balls along, maybe 10 - 50 yards per shot. The two men were kind of irritated about having to follow such duffers, so one turns to the other and says, "Mike, why don't you go up there and ask them if we can play through."
Mike says sure, and starts down the fairway to speak to the women. Halfway there, he stops, and turns back.
"Mike! Why didn't you ask them if we could play through?"
"I couldn't. I got partway there, and I realized one was my wife, and the other one was my mistress!"
The other golfer chuckled. "OK, I'll go ask if we can play through."
So he goes down the fairway, gets about halfway to the women, stops, and hurries back.
"All right, why didn't YOU ask them?"
He hems and haws for a minute, turning a bright cherry red, and says sheepishly, "small world, isn't it."
