Upon
arrival they discover the most beautiful golf course they have ever
seen. St. Peter tells 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.”
THANKS JANE!!!
