The Word That Took Down Sister Mary

The morning sun streamed through the tall windows of Sister Mary's third-grade classroom at St. Cecilia's Parochial School. The good nun, a woman whose stern demeanor was softened only by her deep, genuine care for her students, was conducting her favorite lesson: "What I Want to Be When I Grow Up."

One by one, the little girls gave their wholesome answers. "A teacher, like you, Sister!" "A nurse!" "A mother!"

Then, little Lisa, a bright and earnest child, eagerly raised her hand. Sister Mary smiled, nodding for her to speak.

"Sister," Lisa declared with pure, unshakable conviction, "I want to be a prostitute!"

The color drained from Sister Mary's face. A collective, sharp gasp sucked the air from the room. Before anyone could move, the nun's eyes rolled back, and she crumpled to the floor in a faint, her rosary beads clattering beside her.

After a few frantic minutes with smelling salts and damp cloths, Sister Mary fluttered her eyes open, her gaze immediately locking onto Lisa. Her voice was weak but urgent.

"Lisa, child," she whispered, "repeat what you said. Please."

Proudly, and without a hint of shame, Lisa repeated, "I said I want to be a prostitute!"

A wave of profound relief washed over Sister Mary's face. She managed a weak smile, patting Lisa's hand.

"Oh, thanks be to God," she breathed, smoothing her habit. "For a moment, I thought you said a Protestant."

My wife came home early and caught me in bed with a beautiful woman! She screamed: “You filthy pig! How can you do this to me — to the mother of your children?! We’re getting a divorce!” I said: “Honey, please… just let me explain!” She crossed her arms: “Fine. Talk. But these will be your last words.” So I told her: “Look sweetheart… When I got off the bus, I saw this poor lady. She was freezing and starving, and she asked me for help. How could I ignore her? I brought her home and gave her the pizza you didn’t eat last night because it was ‘too greasy.’ She devoured it. She was filthy, so I told her she could take a shower. While she was in the bathroom, I noticed her clothes were dirty and full of holes. So I gave her the lingerie I bought for our anniversary — the ones you hated because they were black. I gave her a pair of your jeans you never wear just because my mom bought them. Then I gave her that shirt you didn’t even unpack because it was from a cheap store. Honey… you should’ve seen how happy she was. She was glowing.” "I walked her to the door. She turned back, tears in her eyes, and said ‘Is there anything else your wife doesn’t use?"

There was a small church that had a very big-busted organist. Long Her breasts were so huge that they inadvertently bounced and jiggled the entire time she played the organ. Unfortunately, she distracted most of the congregation considerably, both male and female. The very proper church ladies were appalled. They said something had to be done about this or they would have to get another organist. So, one of the ladies approached her, very discreetly, and told her to mash up some green persimmons and rub them on the nipples of her breasts and maybe they would shrink in size, but warned her to not eat any of the green persimmons, 'because they are so sour they will make your mouth pucker up and you won't be able to talk properly for a week! The perky organist agreed to try rubbing the persimmons on her nipples. The following Sunday morning the minister got up in the pulpit and said... 'Dew to thircumsthanthis bewond my contwol, we will not haff a thermon tewday.”

One day Jesus came across a mob surrounding a woman, armed with stones. He asks what’s happening, and they explain that she’s an adulteress and that the penalty for adultery is to be stoned to death. “Is that so?”, he replies. “In that case, whoever among you is free from sin, let them cast the first stone”. A woman at the back of the mob promptly throws a rock square at the head of the adulteress, killing her instantly. Jesus looks over at the woman who threw the stone and shakes his head sadly. “Mum, sometimes you really piss me off.”
