My wife knows I love golfing, and so for Christmas, she bought me something called the Floppy Indoor Golf Ball. The concept is this: A standard golf ball is hard. Therefore, you would never think of hitting it inside. You wouldn't--I would. That's why she got this for me. The Floppy is, as its name says, floppy. It's soft and so, if it hits something inside the house or office, it won't hurt it.

There's just one thing wrong with the concept: My wife STILL glares at me when I hit the ball inside the house. But isn't that precisely what the infomercial shows that it's for? Isn't that why she got it for me? Nevertheless, the idea of not "playing ball inside the house" is so ingrained in some Americans, including my wife, that even hitting a safe ball inside earns a wicked stare. My mom was the same way. Every Christmas when I was a kid, she would buy me toys that beep, buzz, whistle and screech, she would have my dad put batteries in them, and then she would yell at me, "TURN THAT THING OFF!"
I noticed that the infomercial also shows a guy hitting the golf ball inside his office building, just outside his cubicle. And to be honest, no matter how soft it is, I have to believe that the average office manager would frown on this kind of activity inside during working hours. Who takes his golf clubs with him to work anyway?
Of course, I guess one good idea, if your boss happens to be a golfer, is to buy a Floppy for him for Christmas or his birthday. Then when he catches you playing golf during business hours--then he'll understand.
