It seems that one fine day, the Lord Jesus and Moses were down on Earth to play a round of golf. When they came to the 14th tee, which was a difficult water hole, Jesus pulled out a five iron, and proceeded to tee up the ball. At this point, Moses said, "Lord, you can't make this shot with a five iron." Jesus answered, "Sure I can. I saw Arnold Palmer make this same shot just last week. If he can do it, then I can." "Well, okay, if you say so, but I don't think you can make it." So, Moses stood back, and Jesus took his swing. The ball sailed gloriously up into the sky, and *plop*, right into the lake. Moses said, "No problem, Lord, I'll get it." So Moses walks over to the edge of the lake, raises his arms, and the water parts before him. He walks down the bottom of the lake, picks up the ball, and walks back to Jesus while the waters rush back to normal. "Here you go, Lord," says Moses, and hands the ball back to Jesus. The Lord tees up again, and he again gets the five iron ready. Moses warns him again that he can't make the shot. And, again the Lord reminds Moses that he saw Arnold Palmer make the same shot with the same club, just last week. So, he takes his swing, and, sure enough, the ball drops into the lake again. Again Moses says, "No problem. I'll be back in a second," and walks down to the lake, parts the waters, and picks up the ball. He brings it back to Jesus, and says, "Now try it with a three wood." But Jesus says, "No, I *know* I can make this shot. I tell you, I saw Arnold Palmer do it just last week." Moses replies, "OK, if you think so, but if it goes in the lake again, I'm not going to get it." So the Lord tees up again, and for the third time hits the ball into the lake. Moses just stands there, looking at the ground, so Jesus starts to walk over to the lake. When he gets to the edge of the lake, he continues walking out onto the lake itself. While Jesus is looking down into the depths for his ball, a foursome comes over the hill, and spying the Lord out on the lake, exclaims, "What's that guy doing out on the lake?!? Who does he think he is, Jesus Christ?" And Moses replies, "No, he thinks he's Arnold Palmer." -- ********************************* * * * Jeff Rife * * ihnp4!uiucuxc!fthood!jrife * * * * "...think I'll rob a store, * * escape the law, and live * * in Italy..." * * * * --Rick Davies * * * *********************************
