In fairness I must add that some nuns are nice, there were some lovely ones in my primary school.

I can't believe that nobody reported the unattended bag to the guard, thereby delaying the train by 2 hours whilst the bag was blown up in a siding.

Proof indeed that there is a God and He is on the nun's side.

Also, I would never leave my laptop unattended. She must be pretty trusting.

Andrewofgg · 13/02/2015 19:57

She probably thinks God will strike down anyone who nicks it.

What does a nun do with a laptop?

Porn.

A nun in a wheelchair ran over my foot once. Didn't even say sorry. She can't have been a very good nun though or she would have surely been miraculously healed in exchange for her sacrifice, and been able to walk.

I follow a Benedictine nun on Twitter. She's brilliant. Nuns are allowed technology unless they're an order that likes to be poor.

Azquilith · 13/02/2015 20:11

Please tell us who the nun is on twitter!

Two nuns pushed in front of us in the very long and hot queue for St Peter's Basilica, and then proceeded to casually sidle further and further up the line. Not one person felt able to challenge them, but we were all laughing at their brazenness Grin

DelGirl · 13/02/2015 20:16

I just know this'll be a classic. Still pmsl at worra's post. I've not read anymore yet lol

Nuns at school went out for their Xmas do in the convent minibus. It started to snow and the minibus got stuck so they had to get out and push. Except it was really difficult because they were in their high heelsGrin. Died laughing we did. Those were the days.

Flossyfloof · 13/02/2015 20:27

Nun jokes are blasphemous, surely? Don't you mind that you are going to hell? If you laughed at them it is ok though, you can do a bit of purgatory and then you will be out.

DelGirl · 13/02/2015 20:28

I love the ...reserved a seat in heaven, not the 16.10 to Victoria Grin

bialystockandbloom · 13/02/2015 21:07

cunnyfunt I love your joke Grin

WhatWouldMaLarkinDo · 13/02/2015 21:12

I sat opposite a nun on a train once, started to get my book out and suddenly realised I was reading The God Delusion. I was far too chicken to sit and read it so I ever so subtley slid it back into my bag and spent an hour staring bored out of the window instead. Never did finish that bloody book.

CatsClaus · 13/02/2015 21:14

I used to do glasses for nuns.....they all had the expensive Silhouette frames. No budget specs.

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 13/02/2015 21:20

Grin Blackbird

you don't see that many nuns around these days. Am guessing the nun population is in decline

I went to Italy once and every train carriage I got on had at least one nun

a bit like minicabs and those magic tree things

squoosh · 13/02/2015 21:23

In our secondary school the nuns that drove would get a brand new car every other year. Come January there'd be a row of brand new Toyota Starlets outside the covent, always red too, the brazen hussies.

toomuchtooold · 13/02/2015 21:25

There's tons of nuns about here (little village in Switzerland) - Protestant nuns. If not for living here, and for watching Call the Midwife, I'd never have known such creatures existed.

Anyway they are sometimes on my train into town. Sorry but I am showing no mercy, if there's a seat I'm having it. I've got a full time job and kids in nursery, I have zero control over my need to be on the train at rush hour. What are they doing? Visiting the poor? This is Switzerrland, there aren't any poor.

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 13/02/2015 21:35

Protestant nuns Shock

how does that work?

I'd quite like to be a nun. Silent order, quiet contemplation, frugal vegetarian meals from kitchen garden. No menz, kids, dogs or hamsters. And a nice shiny red car

cerealqueen · 13/02/2015 21:36

Grin justmuddling !!

Peacocklady · 13/02/2015 21:40

My great aunt is a nun. They do indeed live in convents still and in her order they live very frugally. Definitely no cars. They can hardly ever leave (strict kind).

squoosh · 13/02/2015 21:43

Watch Black Narcissus for insight into life as a nun. Live on top of the himalyas, go insane with desire for a visiting hottie and bump off your love rivals by shoving them off the mountain.

Amen.
