On their honeymoon the new husband told his bride, "I have a confession that I should have made before, but I was concerned that it might affect our relationship.

" "What is it?" she asked.

"I'm a golfer," he said.

"What's the big deal about that?" she asked.

He replied, "When I say I'm a golfer, I mean that I'll be on the course Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday afternoon, and any holidays. If it comes to a choice between your wishes and golf -- golf wins."

She pondered a moment and said, "I thank you for your honesty. In the same spirit of honesty, I should tell you that I've concealed something about my own past that you should know about. I was a hooker."

"No problem," was his response, "Just widen your stance a little and overlap your grip, and that should clear it right up."
