One man came out of his house on his way to church on Sunday morning just as his neighbor came out with his golf clubs.
The golfer said, "Henry, come out and play golf with me today."
Henry, with an expression of self-righteous horror on his face replied,
"This is the Lord's Day and I go to church. Certainly I wouldn't play golf."
After a moment's embarrassed silence the golfer quietly said,
"You know, Henry, I have often wondered about your church, and I admire your faithfulness. You know also, however, that this is the seventh time I have invited you to play golf with me—and you have never invited me to go to church with you."
