A novice nun was smoking in her convent's lavatory when an older nun caught her. The older nun said, "You can't smoke in here, it's against our rules". The new nun replied, "Sorry, I've only just got into the habit."
A Nun was soaking in the bath, when someone knocked at the door. "Who is it" said the Nun. "The blind man, may I come in?" The Nun thinks for a moment, then decides as he's blind he won't see her in the bath. "Yes, you can come in". The door opens, and the man standing there says "Nice boobs, now where should I hang this blind?"
Cro, I had the misfortune to have a tree dropped on me and ended up in a hospital in Guildford that was run by nuns... towards the end of my stay in hospital, I accompanied six of the nurses to the cinema to see Percy [Ealing comedy about the first penis transplant] The nurses, all dressed in green habits, but obviously nuns, asked me to buy the tickets... we were the only people there for a matinee showing. Now, this was in the days of Candid Camera of course. The ticket girl in the foyer when I asked for "Seven adults, please.".... very slowly peered round me and seemed to be searching for hidden cameras... and, very slowly, still looking everywhere, delivered the tickets. And of course, being medical nuns, it was a good job we were the only people in there... the laughter and comments would've upset anyone else trying to watch it!!
Back in the 60's I used to regularly see a small group of nuns at the trendiest London galleries on opening nights of now well known artists. I never knew why they were there, why they were invited, or where they came from. I should have asked!

Optimistic Cro!
The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!
This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone (except the obdurate and dictatorial) is very welcome.
I was born just south of London, but for the past 50 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live between an ancient cottage in a tiny village in perfectly tranquil French countryside, and a bijou townhouse in Brighton UK. In France we have plenty of fruit trees, all situated amongst a view that takes the breath away, in the UK we have a handkerchief sized patio. We also have a Border Collie called Billy. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
Oh, I say, Sister Euphemia!

Two nuns were out walking one night when they came across a flasher. The older nun instantly had a stroke; the younger one didn't touch him.

As their habits are stone-coloured I wasn't sure what I was seeing.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what denomination they are.
DeleteIsn't that a no-photo zone
ReplyDelete... especially for nuns!
DeletePerhaps their Boss gave them divine permission!

Sounds like they enjoyed the film. How come I've never heard of it?
DeleteFunny to see this film mentioned twice in a day on two different blogs. The other reference to it is in the comments on Weave's blog.
DeleteTsk ! I am reporting you to the Swiss Guards.
ReplyDeleteNot the ones who wear frocks, I hope.
DeleteI have not seen a nun in 10-15 years. I'm thinking they've gone extinct or underground.
