uttercups and Golf balls...

Towards the end of the golf course, Tom 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 Tom recovered from the shock, he hollered for his friend, "Fred,
where are you?"

Fred yells back, "I hit my ball off to the side and I'm over here in the pussy willows."


Tom shouts back, 'DON'T SWING, FRED; WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T
SWING!!!'
