The Golf Fanatic

      For the past 15 years, Marvin, the golf fanatic, has played 18 holes every Sunday morning with his friend George. Then he always phones his wife from the pro shop, and describes the day's round to her.
     Today when she asks him how his game went, he replies, "Not that great."
     "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, Marvin," she replies. "And you sound a little out of breath. What happened?"
     "Well, I was playing my best golf ever up to the 5th green!" says Marvin. "I got a birdie on the 2nd hole. Then I sank a 30-foot putt for an eagle on the 4th!"
     "Well that's great, honey," says his wife.
     "But then on the 5th green, George suddenly had a heart attack and died."
     "Oh, I'm so sorry. And you wore yourself out trying to save him?"
     "No, it was all over in a second," says Marvin. There was nothing anyone could do. But the whole rest of the round after that, it was just hit the ball, drag George, hit the ball, drag George.
