From my friend A. B. by way of E.R. –<\/strong><\/p>\n

A golfer is in a competitive match with a friend, who is ahead by a couple of strokes.<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

"Boy, I\u2019d give anything to sink this putt", the golfer mumbles to himself.<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Just then, some stranger walks up beside him and whispers, \u201cWould you be willing to give up a quarter of your sex life to sink the putt?"<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

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, "Sounds<\/span> <\/span>good to me," and promptly sinks the putt!<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Two holes later, he mumbles to himself again, "Gosh, I wish I could get an eagle on this one."<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

The same stranger is suddenly at his side again and whispers, \u201cWould it be worth giving up another quarter of your sex life to make an eagle?"<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Shrugging, the golfer replies, "Okay." And, amazingly, he makes the eagle.<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

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, \u201cCould winning this match be worth giving up the rest of your sex life?<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

"Definitely," the golfer replies, and sure enough he makes the eagle and wins the match.<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

As the golfer is walking to the club house, the stranger walks along beside him and says, "I haven't really been fair with you because you<\/span> <\/span>don't know who I am. I\u2019m Satan, and from this day forward you really will have no sex life at all.<\/span><\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNice to meet you," the golfer replies. "I'm Father O'Malley.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
