John was sitting outside his
local pub one day, enjoying a quiet pint and generally feeling good
about himself, when a nun suddenly appears at his table and starts
decrying the evils of drink.
„You should be ashamed of
yourself young man! Drinking is a Sin!
Alcohol is the blood of the
devil!“
Now John gets pretty annoyed about this, and goes on the
offensive.
„How do you know this, Sister?“
„My Mother
Superior told me so.“
„But have you ever had a drink yourself? How
can you be sure that what
you are saying is right?“
„Don’t
be ridiculous–of course I have never taken alcohol myself“
„Then let me buy you a drink – if you still believe afterwards that it
is evil I will give up drink for life“
„How could I, a Nun,
sit outside this public house drinking?!“
„I’ll get the barman
to put it in a teacup for you, then no one will
ever know.“
The Nun reluctantly agrees, so John goes inside to the bar.
„Another pint for me, and a triple vodka on the rocks“, then he
lowers his voice and says to the barman „and could you put the vodka
in a
teacup?“
„Oh no! It’s not that Nun again is it?“
