A bit of a long one, one of the many bad jokes my step-dad likes to tell:
Jesus, a priest, and an old man are playing golf together. The priest tees off first, and makes a very respectable shot down the fairway.
Jesus tees off next, drives the ball straight as an arrow right onto the green, only six feet from the cup.
The old man tees off last. His ball shanks hard to the right and lands in a water trap. As the ball is sinking, a large fish swallows his ball, and leaps out of the water. A passing eagle swoops down, nabs the fish, and starts flying away. As the eagle climbs, he loses his grip, and drops the fish onto the course. The old man's ball pops from the mouth of the fish, and rolls into the cup. A hole-in-one...
The priest is flabbergasted, and can't say a word. Jesus just rolls his eyes, turns to the old man, and says, "Dad, stop cheating."
And on that note...
Jesus and Moses are out golfing together. The third hole is a dogleg around a body of water. The usual approach is to take the first shot to the corner of the dogleg and then the second to get onto the green. But as Jesus steps up to his ball to tee off, he aims directly over the water towards the green.
"What are you doing?" asks Moses.
"Don't worry," says Jesus. "I've seen Arnold Palmer make this shot. I know I can do it."
"Ok," says Moses. "But you know that it's going to cost you a shot if you land the ball in the water."
"Leave me alone," says Jesus.
He winds up and hits the ball hard. It flies high in the air and lands smack in the middle of the water.
"Don't say I didn't warn you," says Moses.
Jesus is quite upset. So Moses walks down the hill, parts the water, and walks out to collect Jesus' ball. As he walks back, the water closes behind him. He comes back up the hill, drying the ball off on his sleeve, and hands it back to Jesus.
"That's going to cost you a shot," says Moses.
"Yea, yea," says Jesus.
He puts the ball back on the tee and lines up his shot once more.
"You're not going to try that again, are you?" asks Moses.
"Look," says Jesus. "I've seen Arnold Palmer make this shot. I know I can do it. So just leave me alone."
"Ok," says Moses. "But if you land it in the water again, it's going to cost you another shot."
Jesus says nothing. He winds up and hits the ball even harder this time. It flies straight and true but lands three feet short of the far shore.
"That's going to cost you another shot," says Moses. "And you're going to have to get your own ball this time."
So Jesus heads down the hill, grumbling all the way. He walks out across the water to where his ball went in, rolls up his sleeve, reaches down into the water and collects the ball.
Meanwhile, the next foursome has caught up and they are talking to Moses on top of the hill. One of them looks down and sees Jesus walking back across the water with his ball.
"Hey," shouts the man. "Who does that guy think he is, Jesus Christ?"
"No," says Moses. "He thinks he's Arnold Palmer."
