WATCH THIS!

A retired rabbi loved golf more than just about anything.
Daily he was drawn to the green, addicted to his game,
so much so that come Yom Kippur, the holiest day of
the year, he feigned sickness, sent his family off to service
without him, and snuck out to the empty green. It was a
glorious day, and the vast was all alone; he set aside his
guilt and teed up.
            A host of reproving angels gathers to gape at this
sacrilegious rite. God came to join them, and with a slight
smile playing on his lips, said, "Watch this!"
             The rabbi swing, his form was superb, the ball flew,
and with exquisite aim, it fell, divinely, into the hole.
             The angels were in a rage, "What are you doing. O Lord
giving this heretic a hole in one!" They cried.
God winked. "just wait."
Grumbling, the angels looked on as the rabbi's face lighted up
with ecstasy. He turned to his right to exclaim, but only trees
met his gaze. He turned to his left, but there were only trees too.
Behind him lay nothing but trees. A shadow passed over the
man;s face, as he realized the awful truth. There was no living
soul he could tell.
