An 80 year old priest who had been giving mass every sunday for 60 years decided he needed a sunday off.
The next Sunday, he called into the parish to explain he was sick and could not perform mass. The parish wished him a fast recovery and quickly found a substitute.
Meanwhile, the 80 year old priest strapped on his golf clubs and headed out the back door.
A few angels, looking down on this scene exclaimed to God:
"God, did you see what this man has done?
he has been your faithful servant for 60 years, and now he blatently lies to avoid doing the work you have called him to do. Surely he must be punished?!"
To which God replies:
"Relax, it's all taken care of"
The angels continue to watch the priest as He tee's up for the first hole,
The ball in down, the swing is up... and... off....CRACK..........Flies through the air with stunning force and accuracy an.... PLOP!
HOLE IN ONE!
The angels exclaimed "GOD!.. We thought you were going to punish this man!!! You have instead given him the absolute best shot he could ever have hoped for.....HOW IS THAT PUNISHMENT??!!
To whichGod replied:
"Relax!........
.............Who's he gonna tell?
