Jim and Bob are golfing together on a Sunday morning...

They're both on the green, which was near a County Highway.
As Jim lines up his putt, a funeral procession goes by on the Highway. Jim immediately stops, takes off his hat and bows his head.
Bob is impressed, "Wow, Jim. That's really a profound sign of respect. I'm impressed."
Jim answers, "Well, Bob. We were married for 41 years. It's the least I could do."

I was reading that as Jim Moir aka Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer. Two great English comedians.
robgod50@reddit
Never liked them in their show but Bob is a comedy genius. He was great on last one laughing

Tomorrow I will kill again, this time in Donegal.

That was such a brilliant show. Diane Morgan’s joker had me rolling.

I think he premiered this song format on the athletico mince podcast. Very funny indeed
sintonesque@reddit
He did the Jordan Henderson song on the most recent series
colBoh@reddit
Well, Jim's right. It is the least he could do.

And as the excellent Hawkeye Pierce used to say, "never let it be said I didn't do the least I could do."

Tom and Harry are golfing one day, and as they make their way across the green, the spot two women in the distance, sunbathing near the 9th hole.
"I'm not having this!", says Tom, and he angrily marches over to give the two women a stern talking to. But as he gets about halfway, he stops, turns around and hurries back.
"What's up?", asks Harry. "I thought you were going to send them packing".
An ashen-faced Tom replies: "I'm going nowhere near them: one is my wife, and the other is my mistress!"
"Oh Hell", Harry exclaims. "Right, you stay here, I'll go and get rid of them".
So Harry sets off across the green...
colBoh@reddit
Tom and Harry?
Do the wife and mistress have the last names Torres and Nine, respectively?
JHEverdene@reddit
Haha! That would be a niche theme for a golfing joke.
But no, I just wanted two generic names, and decided to leave Dick out of this one...
Leo_Looming@reddit
I'm a bit slow but it's it implied that Jim was still married to her at the time or is it possible that after 41 years they were divorced and she died as a widow and still unmarried?
ArmchairPancakeChef@reddit (OP)
She died. And all he cared about was golfing. That theme is a running one in golf jokes.
relayrider@reddit
i don't golf or even know any golfers.pretty much when i hear "golf" i vision in my brain DJT burying one of his wives in a golfcourse and than using her as a "tee"
TheLaughingSage@reddit
He skipped his wife's funeral to go golfing. So still married.

One day a man and his wife are golfing. They have had a wonderful time and the man has had a near perfect game. The final hole, by far the most difficult, doglegs right around an old barn. With a terrible slice the man puts the barn between his ball and the green. Knowing that the strokes that it will take to get around the barn will destroy his score, he begins to rant and rave. His wife hating to see him ruin such a great afternoon makes a suggestion.
"What if I were to hold open the barn doors? That way you could send it right through the barn onto the green."
He thinks this over and decides that it will work. With his wife holding open the barn door he lines up with the hole and gives the ball a terrific "Whack"! The ball shoots through the air and right into the head of his wife, killing her instantly.
Months go by, the man mourning all the while. His friends, hating to see him in such a state, convince him to go golfing with them. They end up at the same course and on the final hole, oddly enough, another terrible slice puts the old barn between his ball and the green. The man is about to punch his ball back to the fairway so he can have a clear shot at the green when his friend makes a suggestion. "What if I were to hold open the barn doors? That way you could send it right through the barn onto the green."
The man replies, "No. I already tried that once and it ended up horribly."
"What happened?" his friend asked.
"I got a double bogey on this hole."

One of my all-time favorite golf jokes. Well told.
TerpBE@reddit
It would work better with the last two sentences switched.
ArmchairPancakeChef@reddit (OP)
Put the punch line in before the setup is complete?
I don't think so.
galt-john1984@reddit
He’s saying the punchline should be the last sentence. Well Bob, it’s the least I could do. We were married for 41 years.
cyncity3132@reddit
I like it as is, truthfully
ArmchairPancakeChef@reddit (OP)
It is the last sentence.
tigerofblindjustice@reddit
Please define the word "sentence" for us real quick
robgod50@reddit
There's literally 2 sentences at the end.
"We were married for 40 years".... That's the punchline.
"It's the least I could do"..... is not the punchline.
ComputerGuyInNOLA@reddit
I have heard this joke before and it is always funny!
ArmchairPancakeChef@reddit (OP)
There's nothing like a good golf joke.
Suitable for polite company!
pjdueck@reddit
Oh, good ol’ #2874… got me again!
no_shut_your_face@reddit
For a second I thought I was seeing n the Duggarsnark subreddit
Imperial5cum@reddit
I am immensly cinfuzzeld as to where the Joke is in there ....
BillWilberforce@reddit
Jim is stopping to pay respects to his wife whilst playing golf, instead of going to her funeral.
ChiknDiner@reddit
My stupid ass thought, what does the fact that Jim and Bob married for 41 years have to do anything with the funeral amd Jim's respect and I couldn't find the joke there. Thanks.
ballcheese808@reddit
I will admit, on first reading I thought Jim and bob were married. Had to go back to see what I missed
BillWilberforce@reddit
This joke long predates gay marriage.
Imperial5cum@reddit
Same here
CankleDankl@reddit
Wife bad
Razzler1973@reddit
Couple of guys going around the course, one gets stuck on hole 7 in the buttercups. He takes a penalty so he doesn't ruin the flowers
A genie appears and thanks him and says his life will now be blessed by butter
He said 'where were you on the 4th when I was stuck in the pussy willow'
CaptainZippi@reddit
It’s a genie - it would’ve been cats.
Lots and lots of cats…
SnooPets752@reddit
Ain't nothing wrong with that
Niky_c_23@reddit
Honestly? If they come with the means to take care of them as they deserve without my money being a limiting factor I would rather have a lot of cats than a lot of pussies
CarlJustCarl@reddit
My grandpa told me this one back in the day
Cheesydoodlers@reddit
No one does funerals on a Sunday morning. It would work much better to say “Jim and Bob always golfed on Saturdays …”
part_of_me@reddit
I've been to plenty of Sunday funerals. Not everyone is Christian.
apartment1i@reddit
I chuckled
mkaszycki81@reddit
I knew a different lead up to the punchline to this joke:
”Jim, it's just a funeral, don't stop the game for that!”
