============================
  G-day George Pope,

        A golfer who was well into his golden years had a lifelong
ambition to play one hole at Pebble Beach, California, the way the pros
do it. The pros drive the ball out over the water onto the green that is
on a spit of land that juts out off the coast.
        It was something he had tried hundreds of times without success.
His ball always fell short, into the water. Because of this he never
used a new ball on this particular hole. He always picked out one that
had a cut or a nick.
        One year he went out to Pebble Beach to try again. When he came
to the fateful hole, he teed up an old cut ball and said a silent
prayer. Before he hit it, however, a powerful voice from above said:
WAIT ... REPLACE THAT OLD BALL WITH A BRAND-NEW BALL. He complied, with
some slight misgiving, despite the fact that the Lord seemed to be
implying that He was going to let him finally achieve his lifelong
ambition.
        As he stepped up to the tee once more, the voice came down
again: WAIT ... STEP BACK ... TAKE A PRACTICE SWING. So he stepped back
and took a practice swing. The voice boomed out again: TAKE ANOTHER
PRACTICE SWING. He did. Silence followed. Then the voice spoke out
again: PUT BACK THE OLD BALL.

... George Pope. . . . Said that 2 + 2 = 5 for extremely large values of 2?
