And this, my friend, is why you could never leave C&F. We’d all be utterly, totally, completely, absolutely lost without your kinds of insight and humor.
George Bush just announced he wants to export all around the world the right for nuns to dance. Bush said in a press conference today: “Belgium is begging for a regime change daddy-o.”
For Christmas last year one of my sons gave me a 5" high cast iron statue of a nun that has a bottle opener in the base. You have to look under sister’s skirts to use the opener.
I now work in a hospital that is run by nuns. Actually, the nuns are only figureheads now. Plus, they are all stealth nuns. You can’t tell who they are because they wear plain clothes.

All but the “holiest” of nuns became stealth nuns when I was in 5th grade. We were all speculating that summer over what color hair Sr. Maribeth and Sr. Sharon would have…
Stealth nuns? From ages 5 to 8 I went to a nuns’ school. In those days they wore habits that reached to the ground, and evidently had undergone deportment classes, so that they walked so smoothly that I genuinely thought that they didn’t have legs like ordinary people

I lived around the corner from a Catholic school and in my younger days thought the same thing.
A funny obersvation I made a while back, the nuns call the old order of clothing a Habit, Muslim women wear a Burka which is like a Habit, which came first? I think that the burka came first and was brought back from the Crusades.
On another note, I grew up with this story or joke: “Why do nuns walk in pairs?” One nun goes with the other nun, to make sure that the other nun don’t get none!" Obviously things have changed!
On the way to work yesterday morning, a nun in a long brown habit walked across the street in front of me and I realized it had been a really long time since I’d seen that sight. I sort of miss them.
