Sir Dave of Trafford's new colleagues always met for football every Saturday. They asked Dave to meet them at 10:00 Saturday morning. Dave replied that he would love to meet them, but that he may be 10 minutes late.
On Saturday morning, Dave was there at exactly 10:00 a.m. He played as right wing and won the game.
Next Saturday, and Dave says that he will be there, but that he may be 10 minutes late again. He shows up right on time, plays left wing, and wins. This continues for the next few weeks, with Dave always saying that he may be 10 minutes late and then always winning the game, playing either left- or right-wing.
The other colleagues are getting tired of this, and decide to ask him what the deal is. They say, "Dave, every Saturday you say you may be 10 minutes late. You never are. Then you show up and play either right- or left-wing, and always win. What's up with that?"

Dave replies, "Well, I am a very superstitious guy. Every Saturday when I wake up, I look over at my wife. If she is sleeping on her left side, I play left winger. If she is sleeping on her right side, I play right wing.''
"Well," one of the colleagues questioned, "What happens if she is lying on her back?''
Dave replies, "Then I am 10 minutes late."
