“All right, Father, if that’s the Staff of Life, then stick it in the damn camel and let’s get out of here.” What’s scary is that not only do I recognize all these punch lines, but my mother told me the joke I’m quoting. ---

Has anyone else noticed the resemblance between nun habits and burquas? They both are meant to cover and hide the body, they both leave only parts of the face exposed, they’re both in somber colors… ---

Well, isn’t the purpose of the habit not to show the nun’s physical attributes? Same as a burqa, I suppose. And I thought nuns already traveled in SUVs…I’ve seen them with their cars around the supermarket’s parking lot. Blessed nuns have a better car than my family… ---
