Moses and Jesus decided to play a round of golf one day, so they
headed out to the local municipal course.  The first hole was a
long par 4 with a water hazard, and Moses chose a driver to tee
off with.  He hit a beauty right down the fairway, about forty
yards from the green.  Jesus chose a 4 wood.  Moses saw it and
said, "Are you crazy?  You'll go right in the water hazard."
Jesus responded, "I've seen Arnold Palmer do it.  I can do it."
So he took a big swing and hit the ball right into the creek.

Jesus looked at Moses and asked him if he would mind retrieving the
ball for him.  Moses scowled, but headed down to the creek, passed his
putter over the water, and the waters parted.  So, Moses picked it up
and returned it to Jesus.

The fourth hole had another water hazard, and Moses cleared it easily.
This time Jesus selected a 6 iron.  Moses took one look and said, "Jesus,
you're going to put the ball in the water again with that club."  Jesus
responded, "I've seen Arnold Palmer do it.  I can do it."  Sure enough, the
ball headed right for the lake.  Beeing a good sport, though, Moses went
down, parted the water, and retrieved the ball for Jesus again.

On the eleventh hole, Moses hit a beautiful second shot and put it right
on the green.  Jesus picked up a nine iron with another water hazard 
ahead of him.  Moses saw this and exclaimed, "You're going to put the
ball in the water again and this time I'm not getting it."  Jesus responded,
"I've seen Arnold Palmer do it.  I can do it."  So he took a big swing, and 
put the ball right in the water.  This time he had to get it himself, so he
headed down to the creek and started walking around on top of the water,
looking for the ball.  

Moses let a foursome play through in the meantime, when they saw Jesus
walking on water.  "Who does that guy think he is,"  they exclaimed?
"Jesus Christ?"

Moses responded, "No, he thinks he's Arnold Palmer!"
