GOLF JOKE

An avid golfer dies and finds himself at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter greets him and tells him that he has a tee time at Heaven's replica course of Pebble Beach and that some of his old golfing friends are already at the tee waiting for him. Furthermore, he has a starting time the next morning at the replica of St. Andrews and that he can check in after that for his future starting times. He joins his old friends and has a fine day at Pebble. His golf is not perfect (that would be Hell) but he is striking the ball well, has back his old vigor, and is ready to go the next morning at St. Andrews. When he checks in the next day, St Peter inquires about his game and asks him if there is anything else that can be done to make his stay more enjoyable. "Well, St. Peter" says the golfer, "This is fantastic. If it hadn't been for all that Oat Bran my wife had been feeding me, I could have been here 7 years ago."

 QUOTES

“I fear that all I have done is awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.”, Admiral Yamamoto after Pearl Harbor attack, December 7, 1941

 

“There can be no cause or grievance that could ever justify such unspeakable violence. Indeed, such an attack is an assault not only on the targets but an offense against the freedom and rights of all civilized nations.” - Jean Chretien , September 11, 2001.
