Till Golf do us Part

Tom and Bernice had been married for 47 years and Bernice knew that if she wanted to be with her beloved husband during retirement she would have to learn to play golf which she attempted to do.

When Tom couldn't play with his buddies he would ask Bernice and she would gladly go with him and play a round.

One day Tom and Bernice were on #7 a par 4 getting ready to tee off. Bernice told Tom that she would walk down to the ladies tee while he walked back to the mens tee and Tom said that would be fine.

Tom addressed the ball and swung mightily and the ball sliced and hit Bernice square in the back of her head and ricocheted out of bounds. Bernice dropped like a bag of anvils face down on the tee.

When Tom got to Bernice he couldn't find a pulse and immediately call 911. The paramedics arrived and found Bernice as dead as a rock, and Tom was babbling through tears.

Later that afternoon the coroner called Tom to come down and officially identify his wife and he had a couple of questions.

Upon arriving the coroner took Tom to the back and he identified Bernice as his wife. The coroner asked him, "did you play golf together all the time?" Tom weepingly said yes. The coroner told Tom as he was removing Bernice's clothes to prepare her for the autopsy. He did a body check and he told Tom he found a golf ball lodged in her butt. He asked Tom, "do you have any idea where that ball came from and why it was in her butt." Tom thought for a moment and said through tears,

"Yeah, that was my mulligan"

BTW for those who don't play golf, a mulligan is a do over shot if you screwed your first one up
