A man suffered a serious heart attack while shopping in a store.
The store clerks called an ambulance when they saw him collapse to the floor.
The paramedics rushed the man to the nearest hospital where he had emergency open heart bypass surgery.
He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at the Catholic Hospital.
A nun was seated next to his bed holding a clipboard loaded with several forms.
Seeing he was awake, she asked him how he was going to pay for his treatment.
Groggy, he replied, “I don’t know.”
“Do you have health insurance?”
“No. No health insurance.”
“Do you have money in the bank?”
“No. No money in the bank.”
“Do you have a relative who could help you with the payments?”
“I have a spinster sister. She’s a nun.”
At this, the nun became agitated.
With practiced authority, she announced, “Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns are married to God.”
The patient nodded, “Great! Send the bill to my brother-in-law.”
Aah . . . that’s better!
