Mr. D,

~~~ This one's for you! ~~~
Two golfers were beginning an afternoon game. The first sent his ball down the fairway, but the second put his into the water trap. "Too bad - you're in the drink pal!" his partner said.
"No worries!" said the first, as they approached the pond. The first man watched in amazement as the ball surfaced with a little inflatable pontoon around it, sprouted a motor and propelled itself to the bank were it's owner was standing. The appendages retracted back into the ball as the owner scooped it up.
"That's amazing!" cried the first golfer, "I've never seen anything like that." He just smiled and prepared for his next shot, which went into the rough. "Oh, no - You'll have a hard time finding your ball in there!" Before the second could respond, he heard a "whirrrr!" sound as a patch of grass was cut down smooth around the ball. He witnessed the spinning blade disappear back into the top of the ball.
"Astounding! How can it do that?" demanded the first man, but the second man was already swinging, sending the ball way over the green, towards the treeline. "It will be lost for good in those woods!" the first man gasped. However, just as the ball passed above the hole, a little parachute popped out of the top and the ball flutters right down onto the green.
"Wow, that's unbelievable. Where could *I* get a ball like that?!?"
"I don't know," the first man shrugged, "I found this one."
