"Double Standard"
An avid male golfer's buddies were going to
be out of town for the weekend so he decided
to go down to the golf course and see if any
group might need a fourth member. Sure
enough there were three women and they were
glad to have him join them.
Since he was the guest, they decided to let him
tee off first. The man teed off and his ball sliced
badly to the right and landed in a sand trap. The
man immediately exclaimed "Oh sh.." One of the
women reminded him that he was playing with
three ladies and not his male buddies and that
ladies do not appreciate that kind of language.
The man promptly apologized and promised it
would not happen again.
The woman who had spoken to him about the
cursing then teed off and her ball hit a tree and
then caromed off into the same sand trap. She
immediately said "Oh sh.." The man spoke up
and said that he realized he was a guest but it
seemed like there was a double standard in that
the woman used the same word that he was told
he should not use.
The woman quickly replied, "There's no double
standard. Your ball didn't hit the bloody tree."

"Golfing Nun"
A nun is sitting with her Mother Superior chatting.
"I used some horrible language this week and feel
absolutely terrible about it."
"When did you use this awful language?" asks the
elder.
"Well, I was golfing and hit an incredible drive that
looked like it was going to go over 280 yards, but it
struck a phone line that was hanging over the fairway
and fell straight down to the ground after going only
about 10 yards."
"Is that when you swore?"
"No, Mother," says the nun. "After that, a squirrel ran
out of the bushes and grabbed my ball in its mouth
and began to run away."
"Is THAT when you swore?" asks the Mother Superior
again.
"Well, no." says the nun. "You see, as the squirrel was
running, an eagle came down out of the sky, grabbed
the squirrel in his talons and began to fly away!"
"Is THAT when you swore?" asks the amazed elder nun.
"No, not yet. As the eagle carried the squirrel away in its
claws, it flew near the green and the squirrel dropped
my ball."
"Did you swear THEN?" asked Mother Superior,
becoming impatient.
"No, because the ball fell on a big rock, bounced over
the sand trap, rolled onto the green, and stopped about
six inches from the hole."
The two nuns were silent for a moment. Then Mother
Superior sighed and said, "You missed the f&%ing putt,
didn't you?"
