HONESTY IS not always THE BEST POLICY!

A couple happily married for fifty years were out on the golf course one day. On the fairway walking towards the fifth green with his wife, the husband said,

"Honey, twenty years ago I had a brief affair. It meant nothing to me. I hope you can forgive me."

His wife was hurt but said,

"Dearest, those days are long gone. What we have now is far more valuable. I forgive you."

They embraced and kissed.

On the seventeenth tee, the husband was starting his backswing when the wife blurted out,

"I'm sorry darling, I've been so conscience-stricken since you told me, but since
we're being honest with each other, I have something to tell you also.”

After a short pause, she continued.

“Fifty-two years ago I had a sex change operation. I was a man before I met you. I hope you can forgive me."

The husband, froze at the top of his back swing, and then threw a fit! He slammed the driver into the ground, kicked the ball into the woods, stormed off the tee, pushed the golf cart over on its side, broke the rest of his clubs one by one, then started on his wife.

He screamed and ranted,

"You lying bitch! You cheat! You despicable deceiver! How could you? I trusted you with all my heart and soul.........and all these years you've been playing off the Ladies' Tees!
