Even Stevenson

After a long day at the PGA Show, Mully (aka Eric Tracy, The Mulligan Man) was regaling us with golf stories. One of them found him playing in a celebrity pro-am with McLean Stevenson (Lt. Col. Henry Blake from M*A*S*H) and a couple of good fellas from Vegas. The good fellas wanted to put a wager on the game, and talked McLean, who wasn't much of a golfer, into five a side. McLean wound up having the round of his life, and while having a post-round pop with his goombahs, one of them peels off 25 hundred dollar bills and hands them to him, saying "I got you winning five ways." "What's this?" McLean says looking at the $2500. "Your winnings," says the guy holding out the fistful of cash. "But I thought we were playing for five bucks a side. If the tables were turned and you'd won five ways, I wouldn't be paying you $2500." "Oh, you'da paid," the loser says. "You'da paid."
