Kerry Packer had fallen ill.
Doctors
consulted did not seem to understand what
ailed him.
Kerry let it be known that
any doctor who could heal him could have
whatever he desired.
A country doctor was able to cure him and as
the doctor was leaving after a week's stay, Kerry said, "Doc! I am a man of my word. You
name it and if it is humanly possible I'll get it for
you."
"Well," said the doctor, "I love to play golf, so if I
could have a matching set of golf clubs that
would be fine."
With that the doctor left.
The doctor didn't hear
from Kerry for some months.
Then one day he got a phone call from him.
"Doc, I bet you thought that I had gone back on
my word. I have your matching set of golf clubs.
The reason it took so long is that two of them
didn't have swimming pools and I didn't think
they were good enough for ya. So I had pools
installed and they're all ready for you now!"
