Laughter is the Best Medicine

Just for the Fun of It

(and we’ll reverse the gender as not to offend anyone)


Best MedicineA woman was at the country club for her weekly round of golf. She began her round with an eagle on the first hole and a birdie on the second. On the third hole she had just scored her first ever hole-in-one when her cell phone rang.


It was a doctor notifying her that her husband had just been in a terrible accident and was in critical condition and in the Intensive Care Unit.


The woman told the doctor to inform her husband where she was and that the she’d be there as soon as possible. As she hung up she realized she was leaving what was shaping up to be her best ever round of golf. So she decided to get in a couple of more holes before heading to the hospital.


When the last putt went down it ended up she had played all eighteen, finishing her miraculous round shooting a personal best 61, shattering the club record by five strokes and beating her previous best by more than ten.


She was ecstatic … then she remembered her husband.


Feeling guilty she rushed to the hospital. She quickly found the doctor in the corridor and asked about her husband’s condition.


The doctor glared at her and shouted, “You went ahead and finished your round of golf didn’t you!


Well, I hope you are proud of yourself! While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself at the country
club your husband has been languishing in the ICU! It’s just as well you went ahead and finished that round because
it will more than likely be your last!


For the rest of his life your husband will require ’round the clock care. And you’ll be his care giver!”


Overwhelmed with guilt, the woman broke down and sobbed.


The doctor snickered and said,


“Just messing with you.


He’s dead.


What’d you shoot?”
