Jesus and Moses are out playing golf on a lovely Sunday morning. On the first hole Moses tees off and hits a beautiful shot right down the middle of the fairway. Jesus steps to the tee and says “Watch this, I’m going to drive just like Arnold Palmer”. He then whacks a mean slice that goes right into a pond. Jesus looks at Moses and says” Moses, be a pal and go get that for me”. So Moses goes over to the pond, raises his arms, parts the water, walks in, and retrieves the ball.”

On the second tee Moses again hits his drive straight and true. Jesus steps up and says “Now forget that last hole, I’m going to hit this just like Arnold Palmer would hit it”. Jesus swings the club and hooks the ball right into another pond. Looking embarrassed Jesus says to Moses “C’mon, be a pal and go get that for me”. Moses, who is getting more than a little frustrated with the situation, says “OK Jesus, I’ll get this one, but this is the last time. From now on if you hit it in the water you have to get your own ball”. He then walks over to the pond, raises his arms, parts the water, walks in, and retrieves the ball.

The next hole is a par three over a lake. Moses again hits a perfect shot that comes to rest a few feet from the hole. Jesus tees up his ball and says “OK, Arnold Palmer is the greatest golfer ever and I created Arnold Palmer. So surely I can hit this shot as well as Arnold Palmer”. He hits the ball and it falls well short of the green and plops down into the middle of the lake. He looks over at Moses but Moses shakes his head and says “No way Jesus. I’m not getting it. I told you that if you hit the water again you’d have to get it yourself.” So Jesus throws down his club and walks out across the water.

As Jesus is out walking around on the water looking down trying to find his ball another golfer comes over the hill to the tee where Moses is standing. The golfer looks out across the lake and his jaw drops at the sight. He goes up to Moses pointing out in amazement “Who does that guy think he is, Jesus Christ?” Moses just shrugs and grumbles “No, he thinks he’s Arnold Palmer”.
