Cold Nun Joke (St. Patrick's Day 2007)

With Imus's recent firing, this post is sort of timely. Making our way down Fifth Ave, we ran into lots of people willing to tell a joke, but the weird thing was they kept asking, "is it okay if it's a racist joke?" Big smiles. Blink, blink. And then us: "er..." beat... And then they'd launch in. Frankly, 90% of them turned out to be n-word jokes. Really uncomfortable. So, naturally, after about 15 of these, we had our own joke going - "where do you go to find 100,000 racist jokes? The St. Patrick's Day Parade!" Now, at least two of us can claim Irish ancestry, and one of us is married to an Irish woman, so, we're as green as they come, but, Oi - is this 1950? (Sidebar: we're not posting those jokes, but if you have any thoughts about what we might do with them, we're open to suggestions. - SMIYHT)

Fortunately, we ran into this guy with his good, old fashioned nun joke - really a relationship joke when you get down to it. It's topical for St. Patrick's Day, of course, and it's certainly resonant for those of us who went to Catholic school. You know who you are - and you can consider this joke as part of your therapy. No charge, either. Enjoy the joke.
