Graystone,
Here's the version I heard. ;-) Now the world can have the controversy between "The Joke According To Graystone" and "The Joke According To Gregory". Ha ha...
Jesus is out playing golf with Moses as His caddy. Hole 5 is a par 4 with a dog-leg around a water hazard. Moses say to Jesus, "Lord, I believe You should go the dog-leg and not go straight for the cup." Jesus decides to go straight for the cup. Plop! - right in the water. "Say there, Moshe, do mind parting the waters for me?" "As You wish, Lord." So Moses parts the waters and Jesus walks over and chips it onto the green.
Hole 9, par 4... another water hazard; this time in the middle of the fairway. Moses suggest a conservative shot to just get the ball on this side of the hazard... then an easy shot to the green. Jesus figures He'll shoot past the water. Plop! - right in the water. "Say, Moshe, would you part the waters for me?" "As You wish, Lord." So Moses parts the waters and Jesus walks over and shoots it onto the green... and... into the cup.
Hole 17, par 3... yet another water hazard; this time it's an island green. Moses suggests shooting conservatively to the close side - ignoring the pin - just to get on the green. Jesus shoots for the pin. It lands on the green... it rolls... it rolls... Plop! - right in the water. "Say there, Moshe, would you part the waters for me?" "Lord, You repeatedly ignore my suggestions. Forgive me, but I shall not part the waters for You this time." Jesus says, "Fine!" and starts walking across the waters to His ball. Meanwhile the next set of golfers have caught up and see Jesus walking on water. One of them says to Moses, "Hey! Who does he think he is? Jesus Christ?" "No," sighs Moses, "He thinks He's Arnold Palmer."
