I'm not big on forwarding jokes, etc, but this is really good and I'm sure you all will love it...
A man is at the country club for his weekly round of golf. He begins with an eagle on the first hole and a birdie the second. On the third, he has just scored his first hole in one when his cell phone rings. It's a doctor, telling him that his wife had been in a terrible accident and is in critical condition at the emergency room.
The man says he's golfing but will get there as soon as possible. He hangs up, considers what is shaping up to be his best-ever round of golf, and decides to get in a couple more holes. He ends up finishing all 18, shooting a personal best and shattering the club record by five strokes.
He is jubilant, then remembers his wife. He dashes to the hospital, where the doctor is waiting in the corridor. "You went ahead and finished your round of golf, didn't you?" the doctor shouts. "I hope you're proud! While you were out enjoying yourself, your wife has been languishing in the ICU! It's just as well you finished that round because it will probably be your last! For the rest of her life, she will require round-the-clock care, and you'll be her caregiver!"
The man feels so guilty, he breaks down in sobs. The doctor grins and says, "Just kidding. She died two hours ago. What'd you shoot?"
