Nuns on the Bus


Nuns on the Bus are coming to town this week which led me to recall the following heard from the pulpit recently:
It seemed the Mother Superior was beginning to feel her age and was having trouble getting off the starting blocks in the morning and her subordinates sought professional advice as to recommend a tonic or vitamin supplement. The first opinion was to provide a bit of alcoholic spirits in the morning but that was rejected as she would never touch the stuff. They were then asked if she drank milk and they replied "yes". So the second opinion was to put a shot of vodka in her milk which proved to be a marvelous tonic and she went on to several more productive years. Ultimately, age caught up with her and on her deathbed she was surrounded by her sisters who asked for her last wish and she replied in a whisper "Don't sell that cow."

Next -  The Eagle will be taking a vacation - flying down to the Jersey shore where Cape May has a famous bird sanctuary - to mingle with birds of a feather - recharge the batteries - and look for me in mid July.
