Lola by Todd Clark for October 13, 2019

Here’s a recipe for holy water: Take regular water and boil the hell out of it.

Careful Lola, don’t get splashed with any of that water now, it’ll cause severe burns on you!

Fortunately, they don’t show any of the language after someone misses a 3-foot putt. Usually not very holy.

’Tain’t real holy water unless the ball glances off the surface (like a skippng stone) and lands in the hole.

To get technical. “Holy” or “blessed” means it’s been formally dedicated for a holy or religious purpose and is not to be used for ordinary (or mundane) purposes.

It can’t happen inadvertently, nor does it give some kind of magical power.

And then there’s this little classic:

One Sunday, a priest decides to skip church and play golf instead. God and St. Peter observe this from above. As the priest tees up at the first hole, St. Peter expects God to make sure the priest has a terrible game. To St. Peter’s surprise, God gives the priest an incredible, against all odds hole-in-one.

St. Peter asks God, “Why did you do that — rewarding him when he’s playing golf on Sunday?”

God replies, “Look at it this way: Who can he tell?”

He’d probably have a hell of a time retrieving his ball.
