Ed and Dorothy met while on a singles cruise and Ed fell head over heels for her.
When they discovered they lived in the same city only a few miles
apart Ed was ecstatic. He immediately started asking her out when they got home.

Within a couple of weeks, Ed had taken Dorothy to dance clubs, restaurants,
concerts, movies, and museums. Ed became convinced that Dorothy was indeed
his soul mate and true love. Every date seemed better than the last.

On the one-month anniversary of their first dinner on the cruise ship, Ed took Dorothy
to a fine restaurant. While having cocktails and waiting for their salad, Ed said,
"I guess you can tell I'm very much in love with you. I'd like a little serious talk before
our relationship continues to the next stage. So, before I get a box out of my jacket
and ask you a life changing question, it's only fair to warn you, I'm a total golf nut. I
play golf, I read about golf, I watch golf on TV. In short, I eat, sleep, and breathe golf.
If that's going to be a problem, for us, you'd better say so now!"

Dorothy took a deep breath and responded, "Ed, that certainly won't be a problem.
I love you as you are and I love golf too; but, since we're being totally honest with each
other, you need to know that for the last five years I've been a hooker."

"Oh wow! I see," Ed replied.

He looked down at the table, and was quiet for a moment,
deep in thought then he added, "You know, it's probably just because you're not keeping
your wrists straight when you swing."
