In a light-hearted confession, a man visits a confessional booth and admits to using the ‘F-word’ during a recent golf game. The priest, taking it in stride, suggests saying three Hail Marys, but the man insists on sharing the whole story behind his slip of the tongue.
Despite the priest’s impatience, the man persists in recounting the series of events that led to his outburst. He explains that during the game, after a series of amusing mishaps involving a wayward golf shot and a squirrel stealing his ball, his frustration mounted. But even as an eagle swooped down and grabbed the squirrel, leading to a miraculous landing of his ball near the hole, the man did not curse.
The priest, intrigued, asks if he cursed at missing the putt. The man, with a mischievous grin, replies, “Not yet.” The story concludes, leaving the priest eagerly anticipating the punchline.
This humorous tale highlights the human tendency to find humor even in frustrating situations. Despite the man’s temptation to curse, he manages to find amusement in the absurdity of the events. The priest’s patient listening and subtle humor add to the light-heartedness of the confession, making it a memorable and entertaining exchange.
