Three men are playing golf. . .

. . . One of the men happens to be Moses. He tees off, and the wind carries his ball far left where it falls into a pond. The other men laugh at his misfortune but he puts up a hand to silence them. "I got this," he says confidently. Moses plunges his golf-club into the pond, parting the waters like a miniature, duck-infested Red Sea, and he hits the ball out of the now dry pond bed and onto the green.

The second player is Jesus. He tees off, and the same wind brings him similar misfortune, but Jesus' ball remains afloat on the water. He smugly jogs over, stepping on the surface of the pond, and chips his ball up onto the green.

The last man licks his finger and holds it aloft to gauge the wind. He hits the ball in exactly the same manner, and it to is whisked towards the pond . . . but before it hits the surface, an enormous fish leaps from the water and eats the ball. Before the fish even has a chance to hit the water again, a majestic eagle snatches the fish and starts to fly away with it. As the eagle flies over the green, lightning flashes down and kills the bird instantly, causing it to drop the fish. The golf-ball rolls out of the fishes mouth and into the hole for a hole-in-one.

With a sour look on his face, Jesus then turns around and says: "We're not playing like that, dad!"
