Three golfing partners die in a car wreck and go to heaven.
Upon arrival they discover the most beautiful golf course they have ever seen. St. Peter tells them that they are all welcome to play the course, but he cautions them that there is only one rule: Don't hit the ducks during your first three months here.
The men all have blank expressions, and finally one of them asks, "The ducks?
"Yes," St. Peter replies. "There are thousands of ducks walking around the course, and if one gets hit, he quacks, then the one next to him quacks and soon they're all quacking to beat the band. It really breaks the tranquility, and if you hit one of the ducks, you'll be punished. Otherwise, everything is yours to enjoy.
Upon entering the course, the men note that there are indeed large numbers of ducks everywhere. Within 15 minutes, one of the guys hits a duck. The duck quacks, the one next to it quacks, and soon there is a deafening roar of duck quacks.
St. Peter walks up with an extremely homely woman in tow and asks, "Who hit the duck?
And one of the men reluctantly says, "I did.
St. Peter immediately pulls out a pair of handcuffs and cuffs the man's right hand to the homely woman's left hand. "I told you not to hit the ducks," he says. Now you'll be handcuffed together for eternity.
The other two men are very cautious not to hit any ducks, but a couple of weeks later, one of them accidentally does. The quacks are as deafening as before, and within minutes St. Peter walks up with an even more unattractive woman.
He cuffs the man's right hand to the woman's left hand. "I told you not to hit the ducks," he says. "Now you'll be handcuffed together for eternity.
The third man is extremely careful. Some days he doesn't even play for fear of even nudging a duck. After three months, he still hasn't hit a duck.
St. Peter walks up to the man at the end of the three months, and brings with him a knock-out, gorgeous woman the most beautiful woman the man had ever seen. St. Peter smiles at the man and then, without a word, handcuffs him to the beautiful woman and walks off.
The man, knowing that he would be handcuffed to this woman for eternity, lets out a contented sigh and says aloud, "I wonder what I did to deserve this.
The woman responds, "I don't know about you, but I hit a duck."
