My Luck

Ed and Carolyn met on a singles cruise, and Ed was instantly smitten. When they found out they lived just a few miles apart, Ed couldn’t believe his luck. As soon as they were back home, he started planning dates, taking her to dance clubs, restaurants, concerts, movies—you name it. Each date felt more magical than the last, and soon Ed was convinced Carolyn was his soulmate.

On the one-month anniversary of their first dinner on the cruise, Ed took Carolyn to a fancy restaurant. As they sipped cocktails, Ed leaned in and said, “I think you know how much I care about you. Before things get any more serious, there’s something I have to confess. I’m a huge golf fanatic. I play golf, watch golf, read about golf—it’s practically my life. If that’s a dealbreaker, I’d rather know now.”

Carolyn took a deep breath and replied, “Ed, that’s no problem. I love you, and I love golf too. But since we’re being honest… there’s something you should know. For the past five years, I’ve…well, I’ve been a hooker.”

Ed chuckled, taking her hands in his. “No worries. I bet that’s just because you’re not keeping your wrists straight when you swing.”
