"Gotcha" reminded me of an old golf joke I read many years ago. I did
a Google search for it, and found it amid a whole lot of other golf
jokes. Since most of you will probably groan "Oh no, not that one
again!", I'm not copying and pasting the "Gotcha" joke, but the URL to
the page:

I enjoy the Friday fun, and though the weekend's over, please pardon
me for posting a joke link!
