A Priest Decides To Take A Sunday Off

He feels a little guilty, but is sick of church, and tells himself that he deserves it. Just one Sunday off, what could it hurt? He arranges for a guest priest to give the service, and when Sunday comes, he goes golfing.

The priest gets to the golf course, and sets the ball on the tee. He lines up, aims his shot and swings. He searches all over for the ball, but in his amazement, he's made a hole in one!

He gives himself a pat on the back and moves on to the next hole. Again, he swings, and finds that he's made another hole in one! He's so excited he almost can't even write down the score.

All day, for all 18 holes, the priest swings and gets a hole in one, every time without failure. He's over the moon amazed and can't believe what a great day he's had. After the 18th hole, he packs up his equipment and goes home, glad that he's had a day all to himself, and what a great one at that!

God and the Devil have been watching the priest's amazing one-in-a-billion game all day.

The Devil turns to God and says, "I don't get it. This priest selfishly took a day off, and you give him the best golf day anyone could ever ask for. What gives?"

God grins to himself and says, "Who's he gonna tell?"
