A white, dimpled, grass-stained ball is nestled on the turf -- a club poised behind it. This is such a familiar golfing scene that it takes a moment to realize there's something odd about it. Suddenly it registers. The ball is oval like a football and, as you rapidly scan the rest of the image for an explanation, you see the goal posts in the distance. Then you smile.
When something we have been very familiar with all our lives is radically changed it's always unsettling. It challenges our secure view of the world and we instinctively dismiss what we're seeing as some kind of joke. We laugh, we shake our heads and then, in this crazy world, we move on.
