(I was about to type this out from memory,when it occurred to me it must be
on the Web somewhere. Not quite the version I remember, but substantialy
the same, and cut&pasting saves typing.)
A builder and a priest are out for a game of golf one afternoon.
Unfortunately the builder wasn't very good at the game and every time he
missed a shot would shout 'Shit, missed'.
The game went on and after several outbursts from the builder; the priest
could hold his tongue no longer. "Don't swear like that" he told his friend,
"or God will punish you". The builder apologized and the game continued.
As soon as he missed another shot the builder shouted "Shit, missed." and
continued to do this every time he missed a shot for the next three holes.
The priest was starting to get really angry by now and said "I must insist
that you stop swearing this instant, otherwise God will hear you and punish
you!"
Once again, his pleas made no difference as the builder missed an easy putt
on the seventeenth green and shouted out "Shit, missed". Immediately the
heavens parted and a bolt of lightning flew from the sky, hitting the priest
and killing him stone dead.
Suddenly, a booming voice was heard in the clouds, "Shit, missed!"
... there's a moral there somewhere -- perhaps, "Don't play golf with a
priest."
