A man was at the country club for his weekly round of golf. He began his > round with an eagle on the first hole and a birdie on the second. On the > third hole he had just scored his first ever hole-in-one when his cell > phone rang. It was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just been in a > terrible accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU.
> The man told the doctor to inform his wife where he was and that he'd be > there as soon as possible. As he hung up he realized he was leaving what > was shaping up to be his best ever round of golf.
> He decided to get in a couple of more holes before heading to the > hospital. > He ended up playing all eighteen, finishing his round shooting a personal > best 61, shattering the club record by five strokes and beating his > previous best game by more than 10. He was jubilant....
> Then he remembered his wife. Feeling guilty he dashed to the hospital. He > saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about his wife's condition.
> The doctor glared at him and shouted, "You went ahead and finished your > round of golf didn't you!" "I hope you're proud of yourself! While you > were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself at the country club your > wife has been languishing in the ICU!
> It's just as well you went ahead and finished that round because it will > be more than likely your last! For the rest of her life she will require > round the clock care, and you will be her care giver!"
> The man was feeling so guilty he broke down and sobbed.
> The doctor snickered and said, "I'm just farging with you. She's dead. > What'd you shoot?"
