Moses and Jesus Golf

Moses and Jesus Golf

Moses and Jesus have teed up at a very long hole, and Jesus is sizing up his golf bag. Unexpectedly, he pulls out a seven iron.

"Jesus, it's a long hole," says Moses, "You'll never make it with a seven iron. Better use a driver."

Jesus smiles and replies, "Arnold Palmer does it." Then he hits the ball with a resounding thwack, and it lands right in the middle of a big water hazard. Moses generously offers to shag the ball and give his friend another crack at it. So Moses saunters over to the water hazard and with great aplomb, parts the waters and picks out the ball. Jesus tees up again, and again he takes the seven iron.

Moses laments, "Jesus, you already tried that iron. Believe me, the hole is too long. Here's a driver."

Jesus patiently shakes his head and steps up to the ball. "Arnold Palmer does it," he says. Then he hits the ball smartly, and it
sails high and short, landing once again in the same hazard. This time Jesus goes off to shag the ball himself. He approaches the hazard, walks across the water, and picks out the ball.

Meanwhile, the next foursome of players has caught up from behind and is looking on, astonished.

"Who does he think he is," says one man, "Jesus Christ?"

"No," says Moses sadly. "Unfortunately, he thinks he's Arnold Palmer."
