Sister Teresa is walking down to breakfast when she meets another nun walking up.
“Good morning, Sister Assumpta!” says Sister Teresa. “Good morning, Sister Teresa!” says the other. “Did you get out of bed the wrong side this morning?”
Puzzled, Sister Teresa continues on her way to the refectory. “Good morning, Sister Pieta!” she says to the nun serving porridge. “Good morning, Sister Teresa!” says the other. “Did you get out of bed the wrong side this morning?”
Now the tiniest bit miffed, Sister Teresa goes and eats her porridge, then as she is returning her bowl and spoon for washing she notices the Mother Superior. “Good morning, Reverend Mother!” she says, trying not to wince in anticipation. Sure enough, the Mother Superior asks the same as the other two, and Sister Teresa is on the verge of tears. “Why is everyone asking me that? Have I been rude? Do I look bad-tempered?” she wails.
“Oh no, dear!” says the Mother Superior. “It’s just that you’ve got the Bishop’s slippers on.”
A nun was on her way to a charity event…
A nun was on her way to a charity event when a sudden downpour soaked her from head to toe. Looking for shelter, she hurried into the nearest building.
Unfortunately, it was a crowded tavern hosting a Halloween costume party.
Everyone assumed she was just another guest in costume.
As she waited at the bar to call a taxi, a very drunk cowboy staggered over, looked her up and down, and shouted to the room,
“Hey everyone! Look at this lady! Her nun costume is so realistic, she even smells like incense and old church basements!”
The crowd laughed.
The nun smiled politely and replied,
“Sir, I am not wearing a costume. I am a bride of Christ.”
The smile vanished from his face.
He slowly set his whiskey on the bar, turned to the bartender, and said,
“Water… right now.”
The bartender frowned.
“Why the sudden change?”
The cowboy whispered,
“I didn’t know the Groom was attending this party, and I hear He has a terrible temper!”
