Police are called to the scene of a murder to find a man standing in his living room, holding a 5-iron in his hands, looking at the lifeless body of a woman on the ground.
The detective asks him, "Sir, is that your wife?"
"Yes," the shaken man replies.
"Did you hit her with that golf club?"
"Yes. Yes, I did," the man stammers. He stifles a sob, drops the club and puts his hands on his head.
"How many times did you hit her?" asks the policeman.
"I don't know," the man answers. "Five...six...Put me down for a five."
