Savage Golfers

b'I love telling stories. I even did a spoken word CD called, Bedtime Stories. Available at Amazon and CD Baby. Shameless plug. I read stories to my Lady Wonder Wench every night when we go to bed. Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton were so powerful because they were great story tellers. Sister Mary Knucklebuster kept the boys in order in the third grade partly by promising if we behaved, she\'d read a story to us just before 3 o\'clock. And if we didn\'t...thwack. A good example of the use of the carrot and the stick. In her case it was a yard stick. Everybody loves a good story. My friend Kevin is a savage golfer. A savage golfer is three times as crazy as your standard golfing nut.\\n\\tSo I tell Kevin Golf stories. For example, Tom, Dick and Harry were savage golfers. They played every Saturday morning through rain, snow, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. One Saturday, Tom teed up and hit a shot straight down the fairway. Dick did the same. Harry teed up, and just as he was swinging at the ball, he had a heart attack and fell down dead. That night, they went to tell Harry\'s wife the bad news. When she calmed down a little she asked, "If it happened this morning, why didn\'t you tell me till now?" So Dick explained how long it took to tee up, hit the ball, drag Harry, tee up, hit the ball and drag Harry for 18 holes.'
