<the next day when Dad had to work; same golf course; an oldie>

Moses and Jesus are playing a round.  Moses, as usual, feels like
being a teacher, and Jesus, as usual, goes his own way.

On the first hole, both tee off and land in the rough.  Jesus is first.
Moses says "I recommend you use a five iron."  Jesus replies "No, I saw
Arnold Palmer make this same shot, and he used a seven."  So saying,
Jesus uses a seven.  Moses makes one under par, Jesus makes two over.

One hole after another, it's the same story, Moses gives advice, Jesus
follows what the master has taught.  Eventually they come to 9, the
hole with the water trap.  Moses suggests to Jesus he use his biggest
driver to clear the water.  Jesus says "No, I saw Arnold Palmer play this
same situation, and he used his lightest wood to avoid driving too far."

So saying, Jesus hits the ball right into the water.

Moses and Jesus walk down to the water and meet the groundskeeper on the
way.  Jesus, mumbling about "playing it where it lies", walks out onto
the water with his club.  This is too much for the groundskeeper, who
asks Moses, "Who does that guy think he is, Jesus Christ?"

Moses calmly replies "No, he thinks he's Arnold Palmer."
