In my college electrical circuits class, our professor was an old man who always liked to tell a bad joke at the end of class. One day, it went like this: "...so if you're ever on a golf course and you find yourself in a lightning storm, you should just hold up a one iron, because not even God can hit a one iron."

Well, right as he finishes his joke, this moron in the 2nd row raises his hand to ask, with all seriousness, this question. "If you actually are in a lightning storm, would it be a good idea to stick your golf clubs in the ground and then lay down between them, so the lightning would strike your clubs instead of you?"

The professors looks at him for a moment and then says, "that is the stupidest question I have ever been asked. Class dismissed."
