[rec.humor.funny] Making the supreme sacrifice

P.DEVRIES@genie.com (Paragon Dude) (03/06/91)

One day a man went golfing.  On the fourth tee he was separated from his
friends momentarily, and bumped into a passing demon.

"Hey," said the demon, "how'd you like to make this one a hole in one?"

"What's the catch?" said the man suspiciously.

"It shortens your sex life by five years." replied the demon.

"Hmmm . . . okay," said the man, and went on to make a spectacular shot, a
hole in one, just as ordered.  

On the next tee, he again bumped into the demon.  "How'd you like to make it
two holes-in-one simultaneously?" said the demon.  "It's only been done five
times in the history of golf."

"What's the payback this time?" said the man.

"Shortens your sex life by another twenty years." said the demon.

"I guess," agreed the man, and again made an amazing shot.  All his friends
were amazed and people were coming from miles to see him play . . . two holes-
in-one in the same game!

On the next hole, the man again bumped into the demon, who proposed yet again.
"Look, another hole-in-one would mean three in a row.  It's never been done in
the history of the world!  C'mon!"

"No problem," said the man, agreeing.  "What do I gotta give up this time? "

"You may never touch a person of the opposite sex ever again for the rest of
your life." said the demon.

"Okay!" said the man, and again hit a hole-in-one.

And that's how Father Hoolihan got into the Guinness Book of Records!

NOTE: In modern times, one might say (as a friend of mine did) that the man
was gay and therefore didn't care about women, but I consider that pretty
tasteless.  Besides it ruins a relatively good joke.
