Sister Mary Katherine lived
in a nunnery, a block away from Jack's liquor store. One day, in walked
Sister Mary Katherine and said, "Oh Jack, give me a pint o' the brandy."
"Sister Mary Katherine," exclaimed
Jack, "I could never do that! I've never sold alcohol to a nun in my life!"
"Oh Jack," she responded, "it's
only for the Mother Superior." Her voice dropped. "It helps her constipation,
you know."
So Jack sold her the brandy.
Later that night, Jack closed
the store and walked home. As he passed the nunnery, who should he see
but Sister Mary Katherine? And she was snookered. She was singing and
dancing, whirling around and flapping her arms like a bird, right there
on the sidewalk. A crowd was gathering.
Jack pushed through and exclaimed,
"Sister Mary Katherine! For shame! And you told me this was for the Mother
Superior's constipation!"
Sister Mary K. didn't miss
a beat as she replied, "And so it is, me lad, so it is. When she sees
me, she's gonna shit!"
