harry and fred were playing their sunday afternoon golf game.
the game, as always, was close.  they were at treacherous 12th hole:
a par three that required a perfect first shot over a large pond and 
onto a tiny green.  there were sand traps on the other three sides 
of the green, and a small road 50 feet beyond it.
  harry went first.  he carefully addressed the ball and hit a good shot
that landed just on the edge of the green, narrowly avoiding the pond.
  fred stepped and started to address his ball.  he looked up and noticed 
a funeral procession along the road just behind the green.  normally cars 
were not a distraction to such serious players, but fred put down his club, 
took his hat off, and waited for the entire procession to pass.  as soon as 
the cars were gone he put his hat back on and started addressing the ball again.
  harry said "damn, fred.  that was a really nice thing you did, waiting for
the funeral to pass like that."
  fred finished his swing, making perfect contact with the ball.  it was 
an excellent shot that landed 7 feet from the hole.  "it's the least i could 
do," he said, smiling at his shot, "i was married to her 22 years, you know."
