Subject: The Huge Nun Coincidence
April 29, 1995

Here's one from the "This Could Only Happen To ME" file...in fact you'll want to share this one with all your friends (if you still have any) it's so ridiculous--I swear I am not making this up......

This morning my ex-neighbor (from my apartment-dweller days) comes in the store with his wife...they moved out of the area years ago but they still have dentists and doctors 'round here, so they pop in every year or so. The store was empty and we were chatting idly, and somehow the subject of Ed Sullivan came up. So, natch, I launch into the George Carlin Ed Sullivan routine, "And now, right here on our steege...The WORLD'S LARGEST NUN!!"

And JUST as I am saying this, what walks in the door but a HUGE F***NG NUN??????? Can this actually HAPPEN???!???!?? It's a nun.She heard me, too. I didn't even bother trying to explain--I felt like the guy whose girlfriend shoots herself in the head and the gun flips out of her hand and into his hand just as the police walk in. "Well, officers, this is kind of a funny story...." Yeah, sure. "Well, sister, you see, we were discussing the George Carlin Ed Sullivan Routine..." and she'd go, "Oh, yeah, I shoulda known. That f***er really cracks me up." Oh well. I'm on my way back to the salt mines at 6 tonight for inventory; probably be there till midnight. Tomorrow too. But this story couldn't wait, I'm sure you'll agree. Absolutely unbelievable.
