The Golfer & the Devil

The golfer is in a competitive match with a friend, who is ahead by a
couple of strokes. "Boy, I 'd give anything to sink this putt," the golfer
mumbles to himself. Just then, a stranger walks up beside him and
whispers, "Would you be willing to give up one-fourth of your sex life?"

Thinking the man is crazy and his answer will be meaningless, the golfer
also feels that maybe this is a good omen so he says, "Sure," and sinks
the putt.

Two holes later, he mumbles to himself again, "Gee, I sure would like to
get an eagle on this one." The same stranger is at his side again and
whispers, "Would it be worth giving up another fourth of your sex life?"

Shrugging, the golfer replies, "Okay." And he makes an eagle.

On the final hole, the golfer needs another eagle to win. Without waiting
for him to say anything, the stranger quickly moves to his side and
says, "Would winning this match be worth giving up the rest of your sex
life?"

"Definitely," the golfer replies, and he makes the eagle.

As the golfer is walking to the club house, the stranger walks alongside
him and says, "I haven't really been fair with you because you don't know
who I am. I'm the devil, and from this day forward you will have no sex
life."

"Nice to meet you ," the golfer replies, "I'm Father O'Malley."
