A NUN, BADLY NEEDING TO USE TO A RESTROOM, WALKED INTO A LOCAL HOOTERS.
THE PLACE WAS HOPPING WITH MUSIC AND LOUD CONVERSATION AND EVERY ONCE IN
A WHILE THE LIGHTS WOULD GO OFF. EACH TIME THE LIGHTS WENT OUT THE PLACE WOULD ERUPT INTO WILD CHEERS.
HOWEVER, WHEN THE REVELERS SAW THE NUN, THE ROOM WENT DEAD SILENT. SHE
WALKED UP TO THE BARTENDER AND ASKED, "MAY I PLEASE USE THE RESTROOM?
THE BARTENDER REPLIED, "SURE, BUT I SHOULD WARN YOU THAT THERE IS A
STATUE OF A NAKED MAN IN THERE WEARING ONLY A FIG LEAF."
WELL, IN THAT CASE I'LL JUST HAVE TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY," SAID THE NUN.
SO, THE BARTENDER SHOWED THE NUN TO THE BACK OF THE RESTAURANT, AND SHE PRECEDED TO THE RESTROOM.
AFTER A FEW MINUTES, SHE CAME BACK OUT, AND THE WHOLE PLACE STOPPED JUST
LONG ENOUGH TO GIVE THE NUN A LOUD ROUND OF APPLAUSE. SHE WENT TO THE
BARTENDER AND SAID, "SIR, I DON'T UNDERSTAND. WHY DID THEY APPLAUD FOR
ME JUST BECAUSE I WENT TO THE RESTROOM?"
"WELL, NOW THEY KNOW YOU'RE ONE OF US," SAID THE BARTENDER, "WOULD YOU
LIKE A DRINK?"
"BUT, I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND," SAID THE PUZZLED NUN.
"YOU SEE," LAUGHED THE BARTENDER, "EVERY TIME THE FIG LEAF ON THE STATUE
IS LIFTED UP, THE LIGHTS GO OUT. SO HOW ABOUT THAT DRINK?"
