The Builder – Golf Joke

A builder and a priest are out for a game of golf one afternoon. Unfortunately the builder wasn’t very good at the game and every time he missed a shot would shout ‘Damn, missed’.

The game went on and after several outbursts from the builder, the priest could hold his tongue no longer. “Don’t swear like that” he told his friend, “or God will punish you”. The builder apologized and the game continued.

As soon as he missed another shot the builder shouted “Damn, missed.” and continued to do this every time he missed a shot for the next three holes.

The priest was starting to get really angry by now and said “I must insist that you stop swearing this instant, otherwise God will hear you and punish you!”

Once again, his pleas made no difference as the builder missed an easy putt on the seventeenth green and shouted out “Damn, missed”. Immediately the heavens parted and a bolt of lightning flew from the sky, hitting the priest and killing him stone dead.

Suddenly, a booming voice was heard in the clouds, “Damn, missed!”
