Tim and Janice met on a singles cruise and Tim fell head over
heels for her.
When they discovered they lived in neighboring cities only a few miles
apart Tim was ecstatic. He immediately started asking her out when they got
home.
Within a couple of weeks, Tim had taken Janice to dance clubs,
restaurants, concerts, movies and museums. Tim became convinced that
Janice was indeed his soul mate and true love. Every date seemed better
than the last.
On the one-month anniversary of their first dinner on the cruise ship,
Tim took Janice to a fine restaurant. While having cocktails and waiting
for their salad, Tim said, "I guess you can tell I'm very much in love
with you. I'd like a little serious talk before our relationship continues to
the next stage."
"So, before I get a box out of my jacket and ask you a life-changing
question, it's only fair to warn you, I'm a total golf nut. I play golf, I
read about golf, I watch golf on TV. In short, I eat, sleep, and breathe
golf. If that's going to be a problem for us, you'd better say so now!"
Janice took a deep breath and responded, "Tim, that certainly won't be
a problem. I love you as you are and I love golf too; but, since we're
being totally honest with each other, you need to know that for the last
five years I've been a hooker."
"Oh wow! I see," Tim replied. He looked down at the table, was quiet
for a moment. Deep in serious thought he added, "You know, it's probably
because you're not keeping your wrists straight when you hit the ball."
