The 98-year-old Mother Superior from Ireland was dying.
So, the nuns gathered around her bed, trying to make her
last journey
comfortable. They gave her some warm milk to drink, but she
refused.
Then one of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen.
Remembering a bottle of Irish whiskey received as a gift
the previous
Christmas, she opened and poured a generous amount into the
warm milk.
Back at Mother Superior's bed, she held the glass to
her lips.
Mother drank a little, then a little more and before they
knew it, she
had drunk the whole glass down to the last drop.
"Mother Superior," the nuns asked earnestly,
"please give us some
wisdom before you die."
The Rev Mother raised herself up in bed and with a pious
look on her
face, said..
...."Don't sell that cow!"
