There is an old joke about a golfer that stopped and removed his hat while a funeral procession passed nearby while he was playing golf. The others in the group commented about how nice he gesture was. He replied, "Yes, we would have been married 30 years next week."
As I have mentioned before, I volunteer as administrator of a communication system for the community where we live. The system is designed to inform members of items for sale, activities, and that sort of stuff.
You need to know that this is a golf community. Everything revolves around our private golf course. These people literally eat, drink, and think golf. Today, I got a message to post that confirms how serious they are.
One of the members, I’ll call him Ray died, and a nice lady sent out a notice that there would be a celebration of his life at our community church next Thursday at 10:00 a.m.. Then she added, "I know that next Thursday is a busy day. There is the ladies golf tournament in the morning and a mixed couples tournament in the afternoon. But, if you have time, please stop by the church and pay your respects to the widow as she goes through this time of transition." I’m guessing Ray should have waited a couple of weeks before he died. He might have gotten a better turnout.
I did not make this up.
