Guest guest Posted June 15, 1999 Report Share Posted June 15, 1999 A man was brought to Mercy Hospital, and taken quickly in for a coronary surgery. The operation went well and, as the groggy man regained consciousness, he was assured by a Sister of Mercy, who was waiting by his bed. " Mr. Smith, you're going to be just fine, " said the nun, gently patting his hand. " We do need to know, however, how you intend to pay for your stay here. Are you covered by insurance? " " No, I'm not, " the man whispered hoarsely. " Can you pay in cash? " persisted the nun. " I'm afraid I cannot, Sister. " " Well, do you have any close relatives? " the nun essayed. " Just my sister in New Mexico, " he volunteered. " But she's a humble spinster nun. " " Oh, I must correct you, Mr.Smith. Nuns are not spinsters; they are married to God. " " Wonderful, " said Smith. " In that case, please send the bill to my brother-in-law. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
