THE GOLFING NUN
A nun is sitting with her Mother Superior, chatting.
"I used some horrible language this week and feel absolutely
terrible about it."
"When did you use this awful language?" asks the elder.
"Well, I was golfing and hit an incredible drive that looked like
it was going to go over 280 yards, but it struck a phone line
that's hanging over the fairway and fell straight down to the
ground after going only about 100 yards."
'Is that when you swore?'
"No, Mother," says the nun. "After that a squirrel ran out of the
bushes and grabbed my ball in its mouth and began to run
away."
"Is THAT when you swore?" asks the Mother Superior again.
"Well, no." says the nun. "You see, as the squirrel was running, an
eagle came down out of the sky, grabbed the squirrel in his talons
and began to fly away!"
"Is THAT when you swore?" asks the amazed elder nun.
"No, not yet. As the eagle carried the squirrel away in its claws,
it flew near the green and the squirrel dropped my ball."
"Did you swear THEN?" asked Mother Superior, becoming
impatient.
"No, because the ball fell on a big rock, bounced over the sand
trap, rolled onto the green, and stopped about a foot from the
hole."
The two nuns were silent for a moment.
Then Mother Superior sighed and asked, "You missed the dam putt,
didn't you?"
