Don't Hit The Ducks
Three golfing partners died in a car wreck and went to heaven.
Upon arrival they discover the most beautiful golf course they
have ever seen. St. Peter tells them that they are all welcome to
play the course, but he cautions them that there is only one rule:
Don't hit the ducks.
The men all have blank expressions, and finally one of them asks
"The ducks?"
"Yes", St. Peter replies, "There are millions of ducks walking
around the course and if one gets hit, he squawks then the one
next to him squawks and soon they're all squawking to beat the
band and it really breaks the tranquility. If you hit the ducks,
you'll be punished, otherwise everything is yours to enjoy."
Upon entering the course, the men noted that there were indeed
large numbers of ducks everywhere. Within fifteen minutes, one
of the guys hit one of them. The duck squawked, the one next to
it squawked and soon there was a deafening roar of duck quacks.
St. Peter walked up with an extremely homely woman in tow and asked
"Who hit the duck?" The guy who had done it admitted "I did."
St. Peter immediately pulled out a pair of handcuffs and cuffed the
man's right hand to the homely woman's left hand. "I told you not to
hit the ducks," he said. "Now you'll be handcuffed together for eternity."
The other two men were very cautious not to hit any ducks, but a
couple of weeks later, one of them accidentally did. The quacks were as
deafening as before and within minutes St. Peter walked up with an even
uglier woman.
St.Peter determined which one had hit the duck by the fear in his
face and cuffed the man's right hand to the homely woman's left hand.
I told you not to hit the ducks," he said. "Now you'll be handcuffed
together for eternity."
The third man was extremely careful. Some days he wouldn't even move
for fear of even nudging a duck. After three months of this he still
hadn't hit a duck. St. Peter walked up to the man at the end of the three
months and had with him a knock-out gorgeous woman, the most beautiful
woman the man had ever seen.
St. Peter smiled to the man and then, without a word, handcuffed
him to the beautiful woman and walked off.
The man, knowing that he would be handcuffed to this woman for
eternity, let out a sigh and said "What have I done to deserve this?"
The woman responded "I don't know about you, but I hit a duck."
