- The Beginning:
- Anywhere in the world, present time:
-
- There was a family that got themselves a son. He was very
- cute, and started to grow. After a while, he also learned
- how to speak. His first word was, "Golfball".
-
- On his first birthday, his father asked him, "Son, what
- do you want for your birthday present?" - He replied,
- in a very 1-year-old-ish manner, "Green golfball!!!"
-
- Needless to say, his parents didn't really pay much
- attention to this, and bought him real KID stuff. You
- know, teddy bears 'n stuff.
-
- The next year, his father again approached his son. "Son,"
- he asked, "what would you like for your second birthday"?
- The boy replied quickly: "A green golfball!!". "Why would he
- want a green golfball?" His dad thought it was a bit weird, but
- instead bought toy cars 'n stuff for his son.
-
- Now, the years passed, and the boy went to school. Every year
- he asked for nothing but a green golfball for his birthday, and
- he never got one. He grew and grew, and eventually got himself
- a girlfriend. She thought she'd buy him something nice for
- Christmas, and asked him, "what would you like me to buy for you?"
- As always, he replied, "a green golfball."
-
- Years/girlfriends flew by, and he got himself a steady job.
- He worked hard, and his boss noticed this. "Young man," his
- boss said, "you work hard. Is there something you'd like me
- to get for your desk: a computer, a new phone, a nicer chair,
- a bigger desk or something?" The young man didn't think for
- long: He replied, "No, but a green golf ball would be nice."
- His boss laughed at this: he thought it was a nice joke. So
- he got a bigger chair.
-
- More and more years flew by; eventually, he retired. The new
- boss (a yuppie, of course) asked him what he would really like
- from the company for a life-long service. "Why, a green golf
- ball, since you're askin'", the old man says. The yuppie boss
- laughs at what seems to him to be an old man's wit, and hands
- over a gold watch.
-
- On his way from work, a car runs him over. As he lies there on
- the ground, blood pouring from his mouth, awaiting death, some
- people gather around him. One of them, a nurse, realizes that he
- is about to die. She asks, "is there anything you would like us
- to do for you?" The old man whispers, "I must have a green golf
- ball." By coincidence, a golf player is standing next to him.
- He has just bought himself a green golf ball (some coincidence).
- He hands it to the dying man, and asks him, "but sir, what would
- you want to do with a green golf ball?"
-
- The man grasps the desired item (the golf ball), smiles, and
- whispers, "I'm going to..."---and then he dies.
