 The worst joke in the worldOnce upon a time, there was a young boy, and this young boy was having
 his 10th birthday. His father thinking that it was an important day for
 his young lad, said to him, 'You can have anything that you want for
 your birthday'.
 The boy thought and thought. Finally, he said to his pop, "Dad, I want a
 green golf ball." The man was surprised a bit, but decided to humour his son.
 And so, the boy recieved 1 green golf ball for his 10th birthday.
 
 On this boy's 13th birthday, when he hit his teens, the father once again
 walked up to the boy, and told him what he had before. The boy thought. And
 thought. Finally, he said, "Dad, I want 10 green golf balls." Now, the father
 was slightly curious about this, and he almost asked his son why. But then he
 decided that it was just youthfulness, and left it at that.
 
 Upon graduating from High School, the boy was once again given that same
 offer by his father. He thought and thought and thought. Finally, he went up
 to his old man and said, "Dad, I want 100 green golf balls." Now, the father
 was very curious about this, and asked his son, finally, why he wanted the
 balls. The boy just said, "Dad! It's a secret!" The father backed down, and got
 the boy his balls.
 
 When the boy graduated from college, his father once again offered him anything
 he wanted. Once again, the boy thought. Once again, the boy walked up to his
 father. He said, "Dad, I want 1000 green golf balls." The father decided that
 the boy knew how to live his life. But still he asked, "Why, son? Why do you
 want these green golf balls?" And once again, the boy said,"It's a secret,
 Dad!"
 
 And then came the war. And the boy volunteered himself for his country. And
 when he came back in one piece, his father said, "Son, I will get you anything
 that you want!" And the boy thought. And thought. And he said, "Dad, I want
 10,000 green golfballs." And the father could not hold back his question any
 longer. "Why? Why, son? Why do you need these green golf balls?" And the son
 looked at thim, and he said,"Dad, now, I told you that it was a secret. Please
 don't make me tell you." And the father backed off.
 
 The boy got married. His father walked up to him, and offered him anything he
 would want on this joyous occasion. The boy thought and thought and thought.
 And thought. And, finally, he said,"Dad... I want 100,000 green golf balls..."
 And the father, keeping calm, asked why. Why the boy wanted so many green golf
 balls. And all the boy could do was look at his father, and say,"It's a
 secret." And the father kept silent.
 
 Then, tragedy struck. There was a car accident. The boy was mortally injured.
 And the father went to see the son in his final hour. And he asked his son if
 there was anything he could get him. And the son whispered,"Father... Please
 get me 1,000,000 green golf balls..." And the father almost wept. He said,"Son,
 please tell me why you want these green golf balls..." And the son looked at
 his father, and he said, "Alright, dad..."
