The priest asks if he would like to confess his sins and the man replies that he used the "F-word" over the weekend.
The priest says: "Oh okay, just say three Hail Marys and try to watch your language."
The man replies that he would like to confess as to why he said the "F-word". The priest sighs and tells him to continue.
"Well father I played golf on Sunday with my buddies instead of going to church."
The priest says: "And you got upset over that and swore?"
The man replied: "No, that wasn't why I swore. On the first tee I duck-hooked my drive well left into the trees."
The priest said: "And that's when you swore."
The man replied, a little testily because of the constant interruptions: "No, it wasn't. When I walked up the fairway, I noticed my ball got a lucky bounce and I had a clear shot to the green. However, before I could hit the ball, a squirrel ran by and grabbed my ball and scurried up a tree."
The priest asked: "Is that when you said the 'F-word'?"
The man replied: "No, because an eagle then flew by and caught the squirrel in its sharp talons and flew away."
The priest let out a breath and queried: "Is that when you swore?"
The man replied: "No, because the eagle flew over the green and the dying squirrel let go of my golf ball and it landed within 5 inches of the hole."
The priest screamed: "Don't tell me you missed the f...ing putt!"
