Funny Poop
·         A father spoke to his son, "It's time we had a little talk, my son.  Soon, you will have urges and feelings you've never had before.  Your heart will pound & your hands will sweat.  You'll be preoccupied and won't be able to think of anything else."
He added, "But don't worry, it's perfectly normal... it's called golf."
