The Rabbi and the Perfect Round

Rabbi Myers was a devoted man, but he had one major weakness: he was obsessed with golf. One Saturday morning, the weather was so beautiful that the Rabbi couldn't resist. He called the synagogue, claimed he had a terrible cold, and snuck out to a golf course two towns over where nobody would recognize him.

Up in heaven, an angel looked down in shock. "Lord, look at the Rabbi! He is skipping services to play golf. Are you going to punish him?" God nodded solemnly and watched as the Rabbi stepped up to the tee on a difficult four hundred yard hole.

The Rabbi swung, and the ball soared through the air. It bypassed the sand traps, bounced off a small rock, rolled through the tall grass, and dropped straight into the cup for a hole in one. It was the most impossible shot in the history of the game.

The angel was confused. "I thought you were going to punish him! Why did you give him a hole in one?"

God smiled sadly and replied, "Think about it. Who is he going to tell?"
