One day a man was out playing golf, when he sliced his
shot off into a
patch of buttercups. Rather disgusted with himself, he
went in search of
his ball. After finding it, he was ready to hit the ball
back on the
fairway when he heard a voice say "please don't hurt my
buttercups".
Startled, he looked around to find the source of the voice
to no avail.
Again the man prepared to hit his golf ball and again he
heard the voice
say "please don't hurt my buttercups".
This time when the man looked to
find the source of the voice, he saw a small leprechan
standing by him.
The little man spoke to the man and said, "Please sir, if
you will kindly
pick up your ball and throw it up onto the fairway instead
of hitting it
with your club, I will reward you with a year's supply of
butter for free".
The man thought about the offer for a minute then
replied, "That's a fine
offer, but I have but one question for you, where were you
last week when I
hit my ball into the pussywillows?"
