Tim and Janice met on a cruise.
When they discovered they lived in
neighboring cities only a few miles apart Tim was ecstatic. He immediately
started asking her out when they got home.
Within a couple of weeks, Tim had taken
Janice to dance clubs, restaurants, concerts, movies and museums. Tim became
convinced that Janice was indeed his soul mate and true love. Every date
seemed better than the last.
On the one-month anniversary of their first
dinner on the cruise ship, Tim took Janice to a fine restaurant. While
having cocktails and waiting for their salad, Tim said, "I guess you can
tell I'm very much in love with you. I'd like a little serious talk before
our relationship continues to the next stage."
"So, before I get a box out of my jacket and
ask you a life-changing question, it's only fair to warn you, I'm a total
golf nut. I play golf, I read about golf, I watch golf on TV. In short, I
eat, sleep, and breathe golf. If that's going to be a problem for us, you'd
better say so now!"
Janice took a deep breath and responded,
"Tim, that certainly won't be a problem. I love you as you are and I love
golf too; but, since we're being totally honest with each other, you need to
know that for the last five years I've been a hooker."
"Oh wow! I see," Tim replied. He looked down
at the table, was quiet for a moment. Deep in serious thought he added,
"You know, it's probably because you're not
keeping your wrists straight when you hit the ball."
