The Golfing Devil
A golfer was in a very competitive match with a friend, and the friend
was ahead by a couple of strokes. The golfer said to himself, "I'd give
anything to sink this next putt."
A stranger walked up to him and whispered, "Would you give up a fourth
of your sex life?" The golfer thought the man was crazy and that his
response to the question would be meaningless; however, he thought this
might be a good omen that would put him in the right frame of mind to
make the difficult putt. The golfer said, "yes". With that, he hit the
ball with his putter and sank the putt.
Two holes later, he mumbled to himself, "Boy, if I could only get an
eagle on this hole." The same stranger moved to his side and said,
"Would it be worth another fourth of your sex life?" The golfer
shrugged and still thought his answer wouldn't matter, but was willing
to try to improve his confidence. So, he shrugged and said, "Sure." He
made an eagle on that hole.
Down to the final hole, the golfer needed yet another eagle to win the
match. The stranger moved to the golfer's side and said, "Would you be
willing to give up the rest of your sex life to win this match?" The
golfer had a little more belief in the stranger now, but was still eager
to win. So, the golfer said, "Certainly" and made the eagle. He won
the match.
As the golfer walked to the clubhouse, the stranger walked alongside and
said, "You know, I've really not been fair with you because you don't
know who I am. I am the Devil, and from now on you will have no sex
life."
"Nice to meet you," said the golfer. " My name is Father O'Malley."
