Many golf fans will recognize Lee Trevino, the Mexican-American famous for his golfing ability as well as his humor. He once carried a rubber snake in his bag and during a playoff with Jack Nicklaus in a U.S. Open he came out of the weeds and threw the snake at Jack who took it in good fun even in the midst of a serious championship - Trevino won that match. One time he lingered on the course during an electric storm and was struck by lightning. Asked what he would do in the future he said he would grab a number one iron because not even God can hit a "one". He was a blue collar kind of guy and when he lived in Texas he used to mow his own lawn. While grass cutting and perspiring one day an auto pulled up to his curb, a woman inside rolled down her window and asked him how much he charged for yard work. He came over to her and said "I have an arrangement with the lady inside - she lets me sleep with her and I take care of her lawn."The woman rolled up her window and sped away.
