BUTTERCUPS & GOLF BALLS

Towards the end of the golf course, Dave hit his ball into the woods and
found it in a patch of pretty yellow buttercups. Trying to get his ball
back in play, he ended up thrashing just about every buttercup in the
patch.
All of a sudden, POOF! In a flash and puff of smoke, a little old woman
appeared. She said, 'I'm Mother Nature! Do you know how long it took me
to make those buttercups? Just for doing what you have done, you won't
have any butter for your popcorn for the rest of your life: better
still, you won't have any butter for your toast for the rest of your
life. As a matter of fact, you'll never have any butter for anything the
rest of your life!'
Then POOF! She was gone!
After Dave recovered from the shock, he hollered for his friend, 'Fred,
where are you?'
Fred yells back 'I'm over here in the pussy willows.'
Dave shouts back, 'DON'T SWING, Fred
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T SWING!'
