Laughter: The Universal Language – #8

What’s a Wednesday without a laugh? Here’s a joke to liven up your day.

Ed and Betty met while on a singles cruise, and Ed fell head over heels for her. When they discovered they lived in the same city only a few miles apart, Ed was ecstatic. He immediately started asking her out when they got home.

Within a couple of weeks, Ed had taken Betty to dance clubs, restaurants, concerts, movies and museums. Ed became convinced that Betty was indeed his soulmate and true love.

Every date seemed better than the last. On the one-month anniversary of their first dinner on the cruise ship, Ed took Betty to a fine restaurant. While having cocktails and waiting for their salad Ed 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!”

Betty took a deep breath and responded, “Ed, 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.”

Ed said, “I bet it’s because you’re not keeping your wrists straight when you hit the ball.”
