 One nice sunny day GOD and Jesus decided to sluff off for the afternoon
and go play a round of golf.They spirited themselves down to earth (pebble
beach actually) and started playing.Both were enjoying themselves immensely
and were dead even going to the eighteenth tee.
  J.C. steps up and drives the ball 380 yards straight down the fairway,40 
yards from the pin for what should be a pretty good chance at a "birdie".
  "Nice shot son !" quoth God.
  God the puts his ball down and addresses it.Not wanting to be outdone by his 
son he really opens his shoulders and smacks the living hell out of the ball.
Unfortunately he slices it off into the trees on left of the course(You didnt
know God was left handed ???) and hits the largest tree in the woods.This 
shook up the inhabitant of the tree a small grey squirrel.Wondering what the
commotion is all about he sticks his head out of his hole in the tree.
 CRACK he gets hit in the back of the head by the now falling golf ball.
Luckily his fall is broken by rabbit that was dozing at the bottom of the
tree.The rabbit is startled by this and goes racing out of the trees onto the
fairway with the golfball and squirrel lodged on it's back.Just then an eagle
on its way back to its nest empty handed sees this two course meal running
across the fairway and swoops.Clutching its contents firmly the eagle burdened
by its load slowly starts to climb back into the sky WHEN out of the blue a
bolt of lighting in an otherwise clear blue sky ZAPS the eagle plunging it
earthwards.
  As the eagle hits the ground its grip on the rabbit is broken,the rabbit 
rolls over dislodging the squirrel off its back which in turn loosens the golf
ball which rolls slowly towards the hole and hesitatingly drops in.
  J.C. turns to his father and says "Come off it Dad its only a game !!!!!"
