Kissing a Nun

A taxi cab driver got a call to pick up someone from the
airport. When he got there, he was surprised to see a nun
waiting for the taxi. As she climbed into the car and gave the
driver the address, the driver noticed how beautiful she was.
As he drove on, he kept looking into his rear-view mirror at
her. The nun couldn't help but notice him looking at her.
Finally, the cab driver said, "You know, Sister, I think you're
really quite beautiful."

"Well, thank you," she answered.

The driver went on, "I've always had a fantasy of kissing a
nun."

"Really?" she asked. "Well, then, pull over." The driver did
so. Then the nun asked him a few questions. "Are you married?"
she asked.

"No," said the driver.

"Are you Catholic?"

"Yes," the man nodded.

"Well, all right then," she said and stepped out of the car and
gave him a big kiss on the lips.

The driver felt so ashamed that he decided to tell her the
truth. "Sister, I have to tell you the truth: I AM married and
I'm NOT Catholic."

"That's okay," smiled the nun. "My name's Henry and I'm going
to a Halloween party!"

Morals of the story:
1. Don't kiss other women if you are married.
2. Don't lie.
3. Don't look and stare if you shouldn't touch.
4. Keep your fantasies to yourself.
5. With many people, what is behind them catches up with them because they can't stop thinking about the past.
6. If you kiss a frog, it's still a frog.
7. Sharpen your discernment

It's How You Ask

Corporal Conroy needed to use a pay phone, but needed change
for a dollar. He saw Private Duncan mopping the base's corridor
floors and asked him: "Soldier, do you have change for a
dollar?"

Private Duncan replied: "Sure."

The Corporal turned red, and said: "That's no way to address a
superior office! Now let's try it again. "Private, do you have
change for a dollar?'"

Private Duncan turned to him and replied: "No, SIR!"

The Battle

There's a battle going on inside all of us.
Some people win.
Some people lose.
Then there are people,
Where it's just a constant up and down situation.

The light.
An inner peace.
A constant flow of content.
This is what takes over when people win.
Not many people do.

The darkness.
A sadness.
A total feeling of loss.
This is what takes over when people lose.
Lots of people do.

The constant war.
The mix of ups and downs,
Of contempt and anguish,
Of peace and calm.
This is when people die trying.
The majority of people do.

They'll live a constant battle.
Where the stars of hope,
Shine brightly as many times,
As they fade into darkness.

The people who lose,
Don't realize,
That the darkness is just clouds,
Covering the stars.
They give up waiting,
For the stars to come out again,
So the stars never do.

The fighters keep wishing,
For the stars to come out,
So the stars will.
But they always have feelings of doubt,
And the clouds like the doubt.
That makes it harder for the stars,
But they manage.

And the people who win?
They don't mind a bit of cloudy weather.
