Get Thee To A Nunnery

Over at Positively Mental, Jo writes about nuns and in doing so causes a smile to cross my lips.

Several years ago, I found myself in a nun's office, discussing life, the universe and everything. (No, I'm not going to tell you how I came to be there, it's more fun to keep you guessing.) We got onto the subject of smoking and she told me a joke - maybe not the funniest one in the world, but the sheer unexpectedness of it, the sharpness of the wit, made me laugh.

A man entered a church, clearly twitchy and nervous, and approached the priest. "Is it OK to smoke while I pray?" he asked. The priest looked at him with a gentle smile and said "No, my son, regretfully not - but you may pray while you smoke..."
