Three golfing partners died in a car wreck and went to
heaven.
Upon arrival they discover the most beautiful golf
course they have ever seen. St. Peter tell...s them that
they are all welcome to play the course, but he cautions
them that there is only one rule: Don’t hit the ducks in
your first three months here.
The men all have blank expressions, and finally one
of them asks, “The ducks?”
“Yes”, St. Peter replies, “There are millions
of ducks walking around the course and if one gets hit, he
quacks then the one next to him quacks and soon they’re
all quacking to beat the band and it really breaks the
tranquility. If you hit the ducks, you’ll be punished,
otherwise everything is yours to enjoy.”
Upon entering the course, the men noted that there
were indeed large numbers of ducks everywhere. Within
fifteen minutes, one of the guys hit a duck. The duck
quacked, the one next to it quacked and soon there was a
deafening roar of duck quacks.
St. Peter walked up with an extremely homely woman
in tow and asks, “Who hit the duck?”
The guy who had done it admitted, “I did.”
St. Peter immediately pulled out a pair of
handcuffs and cuffed the man’s right hand to the homely
woman’s left hand. “I told you not to hit the ducks,”,
he said. Now you’ll be handcuffed together for
eternity.”
The other two men were very cautious not to hit any
ducks, but a couple of weeks later, one of them accidentally
did. The quacks were as deafening as before and within
minutes St. Peter walked up with an even uglier woman.
St.Peter cuffed the man’s right hand to the homely
woman’s left hand.
“I told you not to hit the ducks,” he said;
“Now you’ll be handcuffed together for eternity.”
The third man was extremely careful. Some days he
wouldn’t even move for fear of even nudging a duck. After
three months of this he still hadn’t hit a duck. St. Peter
walked up to the man at the end of the three months and had
with him a knock-out gorgeous woman, the most beautiful
woman the man had ever seen. St. Peter smiled to the man and
then, without a word, handcuffed him to the beautiful woman
and walked off.
The man, knowing that he would be handcuffed to
this woman for eternity, let out a contented sigh and
wondered aloud,
“I wonder what I did to deserve this?”
The woman responds, “I don’t know about you,
but I hit a duck.”
