The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.

Mark Twain



LIGHTNING

The fear of lightning is one of the most distressing infirmities a human being can be afflicted with. It is mostly confined to women, but now and then you find it in a little dog, and sometimes a man.
- "Mrs. McWilliams and the Lightning"

Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.
- Letter, 8/28/1908

The lightning there is peculiar; it is so convincing, that when it strikes a thing it doesn't leave enough of that thing behind for you to tell whether--Well, you'd think it was something valuable, and a Congressman had been there.
- "The Weather," Mark Twain's Speeches

I think is more because there are plenty of golfers who won't come in out of the rain, preferring to wave their metal sticks around. Or they just shelter under the nearest tall tree.

Either way...ZAP!
