How Many Times?


Paddy had such a bad round of golf he went home and beat his wife to death.
Feeling guilty, he called the police and said "I've just killed my wife". He 
gave the police his name and address and about a minute later a police car 
screeched up the driveway and two policeman got out. 

Police:  "Are you the man who said he killed his wife?" 

Paddy:  "Yes, that was me."
 
Police:  "Well, where's the body?"

Paddy took the policeman into the kitchen where a woman lay motionless on the 
floor.  The police took out his pen and folder and started to take notes. 

Police:  "This is your wife?"

Paddy:  "Yes."

Police:  "And you killed her?" 

Paddy:  "Yes."

Police:  "How did you kill her?"

Paddy:  "I beat her to death with my one iron."
 
Police:  "How many times did you actually hit her?"

Paddy:  "Eh, Eh, seven - but put me down for five."
