Humor -- Catholic shampoo

[alnitak]

While shopping in a food store, two nuns happened to pass by the beer.
The first nun said, "It would be nice to enjoy a beer."

The second nun answered that, "Indeed, it would be very nice to have
one, but I wouldn't feel comfortable about buying it."

The first nun replied, "I can handle that without a problem."
So, she picked up a six-pack and took it to the cashier.

The cashier had a surprised look on his face, so the nun said,
"We use beer for washing our hair; a sort of shampoo, if you will."

Without blinking an eye, the cashier reached under the counter,
pulled out a package of pretzel sticks and placed them in the bag
with the beer. He then looked the nun straight in the eye, smiled,
and said, "The curlers are on the house."

that reminds me of one I heard on Dave Allen:

A drunk teetered out of the pub in midafternoon and staggered over to the corner, where there was a nun at the bus stop.

Of course, she was shocked at his obvious state, and told him, "Sir, you should be ashamed to be walking around drunk on one of God's fine days."

The drunk was in a friendly mood, so he said, "Well, sister, how is it you can condemn something ya know nothin' about? If I was to go back inside and buy us both a drink, maybe you could understand my way of seein' things."

So the nun agreed to accept the drink. But she said, "Oh, but mind you, put the drink in a paper cup so no one will see what it is that I'm drinking".

The drunk went back inside and called to the bartender, "Bartender, give me two whiskeys, and put one in a paper cup."

The bartender said, "Is that bloody nun out there again?"

This is back in the late sixties, but the Priests and Sisters at Holy Spirit in Whitehall, Ohio surly enjoyed their suds at the little beer tent fundraisers they would put on.....

Catholics don't really have a problem with drinking, except in excess. I've seen some pretty interesting definitions of "excess" in my day!

I don't think I've ever seen one of our Parish Fall Festivals or Spring Dinners without a beer garden.

I don't think I've ever seen one of our Parish Fall Festivals or Spring Dinners without a beer garden.

Our parish is having its annual "Italian Festival" this weekend. IIRC, they didn't offer alcohol last time - concerns over liability. Darn lawyers mess up everything!
