Savage Beatings Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Sometimes God has a very narrow and specific aim. "Hey guys I'm going diving for a little while, and oh by the way, God sucks and I love Satan and Michael Vick. See you in a couple of hours."

Coffeeman Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Yikes. But did they not see the thunder clouds coming? That's like having a golf club in your hands when those nasty-looking clouds roll in - 'just one more hole and we'll be finished.' Not good....

I think that's what happened to this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're in a storm on the golf course, reach into your bag, pull out your 2 iron, and hold it straight up to the sky. Why? Even God can't hit a 2 iron.
