A joke appeared in our in-box today, courtesy of the ever humorous Dorian DeLeon – enjoy!<\/p>\n
A cabbie picks up a Nun.\u00c2\u00a0 She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won’t stop staring at her.\u00c2\u00a0 She asks him why he is staring.\u00c2\u00a0 He replies: She answers, “My son, you cannot offend me. When you’re as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I’m sure that there’s nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.”\u00c2\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n “Well, I’ve always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.”<\/p>\n She responds, “Well, let’s see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.”<\/em><\/p>\n The cab driver is very excited and says, “Yes, I’m single and Catholic!” “OK” the nun says. “Pull into the next alley.”<\/p>\n The nun fulfills his fantasy, with a kiss that would make a hooker blush.\u00c2\u00a0 But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.<\/p>\n “My dear child,” says the nun, “why are you crying?”<\/p>\n “Forgive me but I’ve sinned. I lied and I must confess, I’m married and I’m Jewish.”<\/p>\n The nun says, “That’s OK. My name is Kevin and I’m going to a Halloween party.” <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A joke appeared in our in-box today, courtesy of the ever humorous Dorian DeLeon – enjoy!
