Each of us is gifted with a brain and damned with a tongue. We can only prosper when we wisely choose to use our brain before we unleash our tongue. Yet it is so very hard to think and so very easy to speak. What follows is a bit of humor (one of those chain emails) that illustrates this point.
COWS, GOLF AND THE WIFE
A man staggered into a hospital with a concussion, multiple bruises, two black eyes, and a five iron wrapped tightly around his throat. Naturally the doctor asked him, ‘What happened to you?’
Well, I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife, when at a difficult hole, we both sliced our balls into a cow pasture.’ We went to look for them and while I was looking around I noticed one of the cows had something white at its rear end.’ ‘I walked over, lifted its tail, and sure enough, there was a golf ball with my wife’s monogram on it – stuck right in the middle of the cow’s’ butt.’ Still holding the cow’s tail up, I yelled to my wife, ‘Hey, this looks like yours!’
‘I don’t remember much after that…’
LOL!
Yeah, words can get us into trouble. We’ve all had those golf ball moments.
