Teed Off
When Matt Dobson teed off for the tenth hole, he drilled Brian Witherspoon, who weighs about 350, as he bent over to pick up what he thought was a quarter but turned out to be a gum wrapper.
“Well damn,” Brian yelled, “Dobson’s ball hit me square in the ass!”
Everyone got real quiet and we thought a situation might develop, but Lawson jumped off the bench and yelled, “Oh come on, he missed your asshole by five inches.”
Then everyone started laughing and so Brian walked over and shook Dobson’s hand and we all got on with our game.

The Priest
It looked like the kid in the black hoodie had a gun in his hand. And, we all knew that the officer, who was coming around the corner, couldn’t see him.
The priest raised the Glock and fired, hit the kid square in the chest, knocked him flat.
The guy in charge whistled. “Why’d you shoot?”
“Thought he had a gun.”
He reran the video. “It’s an axe—he’s splitting wood.”
Everyone could tell the priest felt foolish. No matter. We got on the bus and rode to the shooting range. We wanted to see them shoot the 50-caliber rifle.
