Joke of the Month
A Last Bit o' Holy Water
The wise old Mother Superior from Co. Tipperary was dying. The nuns
gathered around her bed trying to make her comfortable. They gave her some
warm milk to drink, but she refused it.
Then one nun took the glass back to the kitchen. Remembering a bottle
of Irish whiskey they had received as a gift the previous Christmas, she
opened and poured a generous amount into the warm milk.
When she walked back at Mother Superior's bed, she held the glass to
her lips. Mother drank a little, then a little more. Before they knew it,
she had drunk the whole glass down to the last drop.
"Mother," the nuns asked with earnest, "please give us some wisdom before
you die."
She raised herself up in bed with a pious look on her face and said,
"Don't sell that cow."
