Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for March 04, 2022

Of course she didn’t say “please”.

She’s part of a religious ORDER!

You heard her, mum’s the word. Nun more outta ya!

Sister Mary Hitler will let you know when you are allowed to speak.

She looks like a tough old bird.

…how can it be silent if you keep talking?…

… John’s desire to become a nun stayed with him…

…but he wasn’t eligible…

…at his baptism Father Bobbit said, ‘We,’ instead of, ‘I’…

…well, he really wasn’t Catholic then, was he?…

…let alone saved….

…but John still dressed the part and walked the walk…

…once, even while on vacation in touring The Temple in Salt Lake City…

…poor Bob…

…all he ever wanted was freedom to be himslf…

…and he got nun, instead…

Mother may I? Yes, you may. (Children’s game of yore.)

A great funny today. Big lol.

…the magic words are: please, thank you, you’re welcome and abracadabra…

There once was a monastery had a very strict vow of silence. No one was allowed to speak at all, with one exception: every ten years, each monk was permitted to speak just two words. After spending his first ten years at the monastery, one monk went to the abbot. “It has been ten years,” said the abbot. “What are the two words you would like to speak?”“Bed hard.” said the monk.

“I see,” replied the abbot.

Ten years later, the monk returned to the abbot’s office. “It has been ten more years,” said the abbot. “What are the two words you would like to speak?”

“Food bad.” said the monk.

“I see,” replied the abbot.

Yet another ten years passed and the monk once again met with the abbot who asked, “What are your two words now, after these ten years?”

“I quit!” said the monk.

“Well, I can see why,” replied the abbot. “All you ever do is complain.”

The rain in Spain,

Stays mainly on the plain.

Say this three X’s as fast as you can. The sardines need wait.

You’ve got mail.

Sister says, “One student missed every spelling word in the test”.

Okay, but no back talk from the penguins…

She came to enjoy the moment of silence so much, that she began to contract “accidents” for parishioners, just so she could call for a moment of communal silence to observe their misfortune.

I am sure there is a ruler, Hidden there somewhere, ready to rap us on the knuckles, should we dare to speak.

Do patent leather shoes really reflect up?

This is total NUN-sense!

I heard Mother Superior ordered a gross if rulers!

Habit, schmabit…they’re all dying to break out of those tents and run and scream….

……When the fathers visit them at the monastery

“Open mouth, already in error.” That’s a Zen saying. You can attract more flies with honey. Or at least if you give a logical reason to keep quiet.

Reminds me:

Transsexual Filipino Nuns Lives Matter … be the second to join me in this struggle for equality and fairness … a down payment on a mansion hangs in the balance …!

The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgencies.

My paisley brain lit up to tell me that the person who calls for a moment of silence has lots of power… Please let us observe a moment of silence. Now, cross your arms, jump-turn to your left and shout hey! Etc. The officiant could lead the assembled to dance The Macarena. Or a smash and grab jewelry heist. It’s okay, officer, we’re mourning.

In this moment of silence, please imagine a veritable vision of vegetable vortex, and a cessation of violins.

Is this Sister May I?

Mother superior jumped the gun

Nuns were/are historically sadists, just like far too many priest were/are pedophiles.

What? Are we playing Sister Simon Says here?

I know this is not Sister Teresa of the Perpetual Lame. Her picture on the Frog Blog bears no resemblance to this no-nonsense nun-nazi.

But I have encountered her type, back when in grammar school….
