Moses hit second, and his ball also soared and landed close to the hole. Both looked over at God. God took 2 few practice swings, then let ioose on he ball. The bali few off into the rough. Just then, a squirrel jumped over, grabbed the ball in his mouth and started running across the fair- way. An eagle swooped down and grabbed the squirrel in its claws, but before it could get too far, a bolt of lightning struck the bird. The ball fell and a sudden: gust of wind dropped it direct- ly into the hole. Jesus glared at God and said: “Hey, are you here to play golf or just screw around?” eee “My friend,” said St. Peter to the recently deceased, “you did lead an exemplary life on earth -— but there is one instance of your taking the name of the Lord in vain.

But it bounced on a wig. or something — it was a very windy day — and slid off the apron right under the steepest lip of the trap.” “What a pity!” said St. Peter consolingly, “Then that must have been when...” “No. I gritted my teeth, dug in with an open. stance, swung a smooth outside arc, and backspun a bucket’s worih of sand up onto the green. When everything settled down, therc was my ball, only ten inches off into the cup.” “JESUS CHRIST,” shricked St. Peter, “Don’r tell me you choked the goddam pute!” The same foursome played definitely your store.
