What Would You Give?
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, so he says, 'Okay,' 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.' He makes an eagle. On 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!' He 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's Father O'Malley.'
