#3  Glen, it's a play on an old joke:

A priest, a minister, and a rabbi are playing golf. None of them are very good, but the priest is having a particularly bad day. He tees up at the first hole, swings, and misses. "Damn!" he says. Minister and rabbi shakes their heads and remind him that a priest shouldn't use such language.

Second hole, the priest tees up, swings and misses, and says, "Damn! Missed again!" Again the minister and the rabbi tut-tut, shakes their heads, and remind the priest he shouldn't talk like that - he's a man of the cloth, a representative of God, and his behavior should be exemplary.

This goes on for several more holes. Then, just as they reach the 8th hole, a lightning bolt comes out of the clear blue sky and strikes the minister dead.

As the priest and the rabbi stand there in shock, they hear a deep voice from above exclaim, "Damn! Missed again!"

:-D
