Several friends in a bar spot a woman from behind, but they doubt whether she's truly female. So one guy walks over to present a test for the woman, who has long blonde hair and is wearing a pink blouse.

He says "Hi" then presents the question, illustrating it with two beer glasses: "If the striker gets the ball between the keeper and the defender, what is it?"

"Off side," she answers in a man's voice.

He simply says thanks and walks away with a smile. He returns to his friends and announces, "It's a man." One of the two has obviously won the bet and the other two laugh triumphantly.

The tagline: "Friends Forever."
