A
Parting Joke:
A
man was at the country club for his weekly round of golf.
He began his round with an eagle on the first hole and a
birdie on the second. On the third hole he had just scored
his first ever hole-in-one when his cell phone rang.
It
was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just been in
a terrible accident and was in critical condition and in
the ICU. The man told the doctor to inform his wife where
he was and that the he'd be there as soon as possible.
As
he hung up he realized he was leaving what was shaping up
to be his best ever round of golf. He decided to get in
a couple of more holes before heading to the hospital.
He
ended up playing all eighteen, finishing his round shooting
a personal best 61, shattering the club record by five strokes
and beating his previous best game by more than 10.
He
was jubilant.... then he remembered his wife. Feeling guilty
he dashed to the hospital. He saw the doctor in the corridor
and asked about his wife's condition. The doctor glared
at him and shouted, "You went ahead and finished your
round of golf didn't you!
"I
hope you're proud of yourself! While you were out for the
past Four hours enjoying yourself at the country club your
wife has been languishing in the ICU!
It's
just as well you went ahead and finished that round because
it will be more than likely your last! For the rest of her
life she will require 'round the clock care. And you'll
be her care giver!" The man was feeling so guilty he
broke down and sobbed.
The
doctor snickered and said, "Just messin' with you.
She's dead. What'd you shoot?" |
