Two friends went out golfing and their tee shots were horrible. One guy
hit it way left, the other way right. They decided that the shots were
so bad that they would just meet up at the hole.
So, the first guy looks and looks and finds his ball sitting down deep
in a field of beautiful Buttercups. So he promptly pulls out his seven
iron and starts whacking away. Buttercups are flying everywhere but the
ball won't come out.
Finally Mother Nature got mad. She came up from the ground and said to
the man, "I've created this beautiful field of Buttercups and you have
no respect for them at all, now they are ruined. I'm going to have to
punish you. Since these are Buttercups your punishment is that you
cannot have butter for a year."
The man started to laugh and goes back to whacking at the Buttercups.
Mother Nature said, "Hey! This is no laughing matter. What do you find so funny?"
The man said, "My buddy is over on the other side in the Pussywillows."
