A nun walks into Mother Superior's office
and plunks down into a chair. She lets out a sigh heavy with
frustration.
"What troubles you, Sister?" asked the
Mother Superior. "I thought this was the day you spent with
your family."
"It was," sighed the Sister. "And I went
to play golf with my brother. We try to play golf as often
as we can. You know I was quite a talented golfer before I
devoted my life to Christ."
"I seem to recall that," the Mother
Superior agreed. "So, I take it your day of recreation was
not relaxing?"
"Far from it," snorted the Sister. "In
fact, I even took the Lord's name in vain today!"
"Goodness, Sister!" gasped the Mother
Superior, astonished. "You must tell me all about it!"
"Well, we were on the fifth tee .... and
this hole is a monster, Mother - 540 yard Par 5, with a
nasty dogleg left and a hidden green .... and I hit the
drive of my life. I creamed it. The sweetest swing I ever
made. And it's flying straight and true, right along the
line I wanted ... and it hits this bird in mid-flight !"
"Oh my!" commiserated the Mother. "How
unfortunate! But surely that didn't make you blaspheme,
Sister!"
"No, that wasn't it," admitted Sister.
"While I was still trying to fathom what had happened, this
squirrel runs out of the woods, grabs my ball and runs off
down the fairway!"
"Oh, that would have made me blaspheme!"
sympathized the Mother.
"But I didn't, Mother!" sobbed the Sister.
"And I was so proud of myself! An d while I was pondering
whether this was a sign from God, this hawk swoops out of
the sky and grabs the squirrel and flies off, with my ball
still clutched in his paws!"
"So that's when you cursed," said the
Mother with a knowing smile.
"Nope, that wasn't it either," cried the
Sister, anguished, "because as the hawk started to fly out
of sight, the squirrel started struggling, and the hawk
dropped him right there on the green, and the ball popped
out of his paws and rolled to about 18 inches from the cup!"
Mother Superior sat back in her chair,
folded her arms across her chest, fixed the Sister with a
baleful stare and said...
"You missed the fucking putt, didn't
you?
