Forgiveness Is a Tricky Thing
Fred was about to tee off on the first hole when a second golfer (George) approached and asked if he could join him. Fred said that he usually played alone, but agreed to the twosome. They were even after the first few holes. George said, “We’re about evenly matched, how about playing for five bucks a hole?” Fred said that he wasn’t much for betting, but agreed.
George easily won the remaining 16 holes. They walked off number eighteen while George counted his $80.00. He then confessed that he was the pro at a neighboring course and “liked to pick on suckers.” Fred, shocked, revealed that he was the Parish Priest. The pro was flustered and apologetic and offered to return the money.
The Priest said, “You won fair and square I was foolish to bet with you. Keep your winnings.”
The embarrassed pro asked, “Please, is there anything I can do to make it up to you?”
The Priest said, "Well, you could come to Mass on Sunday and make a donation. And, if you want to bring your Mother and Father along, I’ll marry them.”
