"Name Game"
A golfer is in a competitive match with a friend,
who is ahead by a couple of strokes. The golfer
says to himself: "I'd give anything to sink this
next putt."
A stranger walks up to him and whispers: "Would
you give up a fourth of your sex life?" The golfer
thinks the man is crazy and that his answer will
be meaningless but also that perhaps this is a
good omen and will put him in the right frame of
mind to make the difficult putt and says, "OK."
And sinks the putt.
Two holes later he mumbles to himself: "Boy, if I
could only get an eagle on this hole." The same
stranger moves to his side and says, "Would it be
worth another fourth of your sex life?"The golfer
shrugs and says, "Sure." And he makes an eagle.
Down to the final hole. The golfer needs yet another
eagle to win.Though he says nothing, the stranger
moves to his side and says, "Would you be willing
to give up the rest of your sex life to win this match?"
The golfer says, "Certainly." And makes the eagle.
As the golfer walks to the club house, the stranger
walks alongside and says,"You know, I've really not
been fair with you because you don't know who I
am. I'm the devil, and from now on you will have
no sex life."
"Nice to meet you," says the golfer. "My name is
Father O'Malley."
