He does sing and dance, eventually. So do the nuns but they look suspicious, not at all authentic.

I think one of the nuns had a beard,

I noticed that too...

I quite often appear with a beard. Why couldn't that nun?

True, but you are always in RED, like that should make a difference.

Marty Feldman gave a great performance of one of my favorite Tom Lehrer songs in that Youtube. I’ll probably go around singing it for the next couple of days (annoying everyone within hearing distance)….

Our good sister is the prioress of the convent of the Sisters of Perpetual Responsibility, which is but a small order in the Twin Cities. The largest order of bearded nuns is the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (http://www.thesisters.org/), which is headquartered in San Francisco. One of their convents is located just down the road from me, and they have branches in many cities around the world, including branches in England, France, Germany, and Uruguay.

Wikipedia includes a brief article about the order under their full name: Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisters_of ... Indulgence). The sisters’ own web site has a page linking to descriptions of some of the nuns in the main convent (many with photos of bearded nuns):

Actually, it was meant to be obvious. The first three sitting on the seat are female but the two that come in later are both male.

I think I figured that out when they started to sing in a baritone voice, that and they were about 6' 5" with broad shoulders and hairy legs.
