Flags: 000000000000 From: johnson@ut-emx.UUCP (Karen B. Johnson) Subject: Pausing to honour a funeral Keywords: smirk Date: 18 Nov 88 16:30:04 GMT This guy's wife was always wanting to go golfing with him and he said he didn't think she would enjoy it. She kept pressuring him and finally he gave in. So they're on the golf course and on the first hole the guy hits one 300 yards down the middle of the fairway, hits his second shot three feet from the pin, and putts for a birdie. This lucky streak continues and he birdies 5 straight holes. Then they get to the 6th hole. He takes his driver and hooks one way out into the left rough behind a barn. They search and search and find the ball, and he says to his wife, "I'll just take a penalty and drop the ball out in the fairway." His wife says, "Wait a minute!" She walks over to the barn and opens the door on one end and then goes to the other end and opens that door too. She says, "Look, honey, you can see the hole from here! The way you've been playing, just hit through the barn and you'll do okay." So he grabs a 3 iron and takes a healthy swat, and it ricochets off the barn and hits his wife right between the eyes, killing her instantly. The grief-stricken man didn't play golf for several years after his wife's death. Until one day, his friends finally talk him into a foursome. They go to the same course, and amazingly, he again birdies the first 5 holes. They get to the 6th tee and he hits another vicious hook behind the same barn! They finally find the ball and the guy says he will take a penalty drop in the fairway. One of his buddies says, "Wait a minute!" and runs and opens the barn doors. The guy screams at him, "You dirty SOB, the last time I tried that, I took a 9 on this hole!!" -- Edited by Brad Templeton. MAIL, yes MAIL your jokes to watmath!looking!funny .
