In a convent in Ireland,
the 98-year-old Mother Superior lay dying. The nuns gathered around her bed
trying to make her last journey comfortable.
They tried giving her warm milk
to drink but she refused it.
One of the nuns took the glass
back to the kitchen. Then, remembering a bottle of Irish Whiskey that had
been received as a gift the previous Christmas, she opened it and poured a
generous amount into the warm milk.
Back at Mother Superior 's bed,
they held the glass to her lips. The frail nun drank a little, then a
little more and before they knew it, she had finished the whole glass down
to the last drop.
As her eyes brightened, the nuns
thought it would be a good opportunity to have one last talk with their
spiritual leader..
"Mother," the nuns asked
earnestly,
"Please give us some of
your wisdom before you leave us."
She raised herself up in bed on
one elbow, looked at them and said,
"DON'T SELL THAT COW!"
