Chance of Rain: 50%

Back when I was in the golf business (my last official day was two days ago, so my memory is still pretty clear) I was frequently asked questions pertaining to rain. Often, people called from their home ON the course to ask if it was raining AT the course.

Anyway, my favorite four rain-related questions are below.

The answers I usually gave (which never resulted in a punch in the nose or being fired, miraculously) are also below, just a bit farther…a couple more mouse clicks should do it.

For fun, (if you can stand more than the excitement I have already caused) try to match the answers with the questions, or if that is too complicated, just insert “I don’t know” into all of them, which works equally well and might have saved me some dirty looks, but would have prevented people from understanding the real me (what a tragedy that would have been, right?).

1. The most often tendered was: Do you think it will rain today? ________

2. If it was raining already, I got this one: Do you think it will stop raining? ________

3. If the people were guests (I got this one a lot at Casa de Campo): Where does the rain normally come from around here? ________

4. When I ran tournaments, this one was my favorite: What will we do if it rains? ___________

A. Get wet
B. Yes, see Genesis chapter 9, verse 11
C. Yes, somewhere
D. The sky
