"After that, a squirrel ran out of the > bushes and grabbed my ball in his mouth and began to run away." > > "Is THAT when you swore?" asks the Father again. > "Well, no." says the man. "You see, as the squirrel was running, an > eagle came down out of the sky, grabbed the squirrel in his tail and > began to fly away! > > "Is THAT when you swore?" asks the amazed Priest. > "No, not yet," the man replies. "As the eagle carried the squirrel > away in his claws, it flew over a bit of forest near the green and the > squirrel dropped my ball." > > "Did you swear THEN?" asked the impatient Priest. > "No, because as the ball fell, it struck a tree, bounced through some > bushes, careened off a big rock, and rolled through a sand trap onto > the green and stopped within six inches of the hole." > > Silence filled the confessional until the Priest sighed and said, "You > missed the f***ing putt, didn't you?!!!!!!"
