“Devil and Golf”

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 and will put him in the right frame of mind to 
make the difficult putt and says, “OK.” 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.” And he makes an eagle. 

Down to 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.” And 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.”
