Buttercups

[joseyclosey]

Towards the end of a round of golf, Harry hit his ball into the woods and

found it in a patch of pretty yellow buttercups.

Trying to get his ball back in play, he ended up thrashing just about every

buttercup in the patch.

All of a sudden . . .POOOF!!

In a flash and puff of smoke, a little old woman appeared.

She said, 'I'm Mother Nature! Do you know how long it took me to make those

buttercups? Just for doing what you have done, you won't have any butter

for your potatoes for the rest of your life: better still, you won't have

any butter for your toast for the rest of your life... As a matter of fact,

you'll never have any butter for anything the rest of your life!!!

Then POOOF! . . . she was gone!

After Harry recovered from the shock, he hollered for his friend, 'Pete,

where are you?'

Pete yells back 'I'm over here in the pussy willows.'

Harry shouts back, 'PICK UP PETE! FOR GODS SAKE PICK UP!!!'
