The Hospital

A woman woke up to find herself in hospital following a collapse in the street. Seated next to her was a nun with a clipboard of forms. Rather un-christianly the nun questioned her.

'Do you have health insurance?'

'No,' she croaked.

'Do you have parents who could pay?'

'No, both dead.'

'Do you have any siblings who could pay?'

'I only have a spinster sister - she's a nun like you.'

'We are not spinsters,' said the nun indignantly, 'we are married to God.'

'Great - send the bill to my brother-in-law.'

My apologies for failing to post lately (although you may be relieved!) - work has been intrusive into real life. But a new series is almost ready - something different which I propose to try on you.

I loved it. Reminds me of the Dave Allen joke about the nun sat outside a pub.

Looking forward to the new series immensely.

Must rush off to the tennis!
