A Joke for Thought
Here's a joke that should get a chuckle and maybe provoke some thought. :-)
Jesus and Moses are playing a round of golf. Jesus steps to the first tee and with a beautiful swing drives the ball straight and true down the middle of the fairway. The ball bounces once, rolls in a straight line toward the green, up on the green and straight into the hole. A hole in one!
Moses lines up his shot and drives his ball straight down the fairway toward the hole. His ball bounces once, rolls toward the green and comes to a stop about 2 feet from the hole.
About that time an old man walks onto the tee and asks if he can join the group. Jesus and Moses agree. The old man lines up his ball, but in the wrong direction. Before anyone can say anything the old man smashes his drive high into the air straight toward a pond in the opposite direction from the green. The ball careens off a large tree, two rocks and lands in the middle of the pond with a loud splash. Jesus and Moses chuckle.
Just as the ball hits the water, a large bass grabs the ball and swallows it whole. As the bass begins to swim toward some lilypads near the shore, a huge eagle swoops down and grabs the bass and attempts to fly away with the fish. The bass begins thrashing and shaking as the eagle struggles to carry it to a nearby tree.
The eagle flaps its wings frantically but the weight of the large fish pulls it closer and closer to the ground. Sensing the futility of the struggle, the eagle lets go of the bass which falls toward another pond near the green as the bird flies away.
Just before hitting the water, the bass makes one last thrash and spits the golf ball up into the air. The ball lands on the branch of a large tree and rolls down the branch, falling gently on the green where it rolls toward the pin and drops in the hole.
The old man turns to Jesus and Moses with a big grin. “Great shot Dad,” says Jesus. “But now I think you’re showing off.”
