The Jailhouse

[Churak]

AKvetch...that wasn't very good...try this one...

O'Brian loved to play golf and would go out alone to a course
and get paired up with any group that needed a fourth.

One day he went to his favorite course and the pro said, "I'm
sorry O'Brian, but the only group I can put you with is one
with three Hassidic rabbis."

O'Brian says, "That's fine with me."

He joins the group and tees off. His shot is about 200 yards
out and off to the right rough. Reb Moshe tees off 300 yards
straight out into the middle of the fairway. Reb Yitzchak's
shot is about 290 and Reb Yaacov's is 300, but slightly off
center. O'Brian has trouble with getting out of the rough and
four-putts, while the rabbis' approach shots are right on the
pin, they two-putt for par.

The rest of the round is the same, with the rabbi's scores either
par or under par, while O'Brian has a 95. He says to them, "You
guys must play and practice all the time."

Reb Yitzchak says, "No, we study all the time and only play once
a week. But, on our Sabbath, while we are in shul, we say a prayer
asking God to give us one good round of golf each week."

O'Brian is so impressed that he goes home and tells his wife that
they are converting. They study, convert, join a shul, and go to
services every Shabbat.

About a year later, O'Brian runs into the threesome of rabbis at
the same course and they invite him to play with them. The game is
exactly like last year's. O'Brian is doing nothing right, and the
three are perfect. At the end, O'Brian says to the rabbis, "I don't
understand it. I converted, I joined a shul, pray every week."

Rabbi Moshe says, "You joined a shul? Which one?"

O'Brian says, "Beth Shalom."

Rabbi Moshe says, "No, no, no! Beth Shalom is for TENNIS!"
