The sailor and the priest

     The sailor and a priest were playing golf. The sailor was not very good
at it, and uttered a loud "Damn, missed!" each time he missed. The priest
tolerated him for a few minutes and couldn't take it anymore.

     "Do not swear thus, my friend, or God will punish you."

     It didn't make a difference, the sailor continued unabated. One after
another, the sailor played badly, and followed up with "Damn, missed!!".

     Again, the priest said "Do not utter such profanities, or God will show
you a sign."

     It didn't help, and the next stroke missed was followed by a loud
"DAMN, missed!!" A bolt of lightning dropped out of the clouds and struck
the priest dead.

     A voice was heard in the clouds "Damn, missed!!"
