Nun-Sense @ the Airport
A Nun was sitting at the airport, waiting on her flight to Chicago. She looked
over in the corner and saw one of those weight machines that tells your fortune,
and thought to herself,
“I'll give it a try and see what it tells me.”
She went over to the machine, stepped up on the scale and put her nickel in, and
out came a card that read,
“You are
a Nun, you weigh 128 pounds and you are going to Chicago.”
The Nun sat back down. She told herself that the machine probably gives the same
card to everyone. The more she thought about it, the more curious she got, so
she decided to try it again.
She went back to the machine and again put her nickel in, and out came a card
that read,
“You are
a Nun, you weigh 128 pounds - you are going to Chicago and you are going to play
a fiddle.”
The Nun says to herself,
“I know
that is wrong - I have never played a musical instrument a day in my life.”
She sat back down. From out of nowhere, a cowboy came over and sat down, putting
his fiddle case in the seat between them. Without thinking, she opened the
cowboy’s case, took out the fiddle, and started playing beautiful music.
Surprised at what she had done, she looked over at the machine thinking,
“This is
incredible - I've got to try this again!”
Back to the machine she went, putting in another nickel, and another card came
out. It read,
“You are
a Nun, you weigh 128 pounds, you are going to Chicago and you are going to break
wind.”
Now she knows the machine is wrong, as she thought to herself,
“I've never broke
wind in public a single time in my life.” But getting down off the machine she
slipped, and as she was straining to keep herself from falling to the floor, she
broke wind.
Absolutely stunned, she sat back down and looked at the machine. She said to
herself,
“This is
truly remarkable! I have go to try this again.”
She went back to the machine, put in another nickel, and another card came out.
It read,
“You are a Nun, you weigh 128 pounds, you have fiddled and farted
around and missed your flight to Chicago.”
