I prefer the golfer's version of this joke:
This duffer is consoling his friend on the recent loss of his wife. "How did it happen?" "We were playing golf together, like we do every Tuesday, and she had a heart attack right on the fourth green." "Gosh, that must have been really terrible." "Sure was! All afternoon it was: hit the ball, drag Ethyl, hit the ball, drag Ethyl...."
