Oh it's been a strange morniing indeed.. . . A friend from America who is visiting Ireland, for the first time, was touring Co Kerry when he noticed a sign saying 'SE*X at Sisters Of Mercy Convent -10 Kms.' ..
"Oh wow - Oh no... I must have read that wrong,," he thinks to himself But then he spotted another sign which says "SE*X at Sisters Of Mercy Convent - 5 Kms" .. Hmm?? Probably a joke he thinks ... but when he drives past a third sign saying 'SE*X at Sisters Of Mercy Convent Turn RIGHT" his curiosity got the better of him.
On the far side of the driveway there was a sombre stone building with a sign above the door reading SISTERS OF MERCY. He rang the bell.
The door was answered by a nun in a long black habit who asks "What may we do for you, my son?" He smiled "I saw your signs along the highway, and was interested in your offer."
The elderly nun simply nodded "Very well, my son. Please follow me." and with that she led him through some winding passages and then stopped at a closed door, saying "Please just knock on this door."
My friend did as he was told. .. .. The door was answered by another nun in an old fashioned long black habit who was holding an Offering Basket, She said "Please place €50 in the basket, and you may then go through that large wooden door at the end of this hallway."
Curious & excited by now, my friend took €50 out of his wallet & placed it in the basket, before trotting eagerly down the hall, and then out through the large wooden door, which immediately shut behind him..
. . He found himself back outside facing another small sign: ~ "Go in Peace. You have been successfully screwed by the Sisters of Mercy."
