A nun was sitting at a window in her convent one day... when she

was handed a letter from home. Upon opening it a $10 bill dropped

out. She was most pleased at receiving the gift from her home

folks, but as she read the letter her attention was distracted by

the actions of a shabbily dressed stranger who was leaning

against a post in front of the convent.

She couldn't get him off her mind and, thinking that he might be

in financial difficulties, she took the $10 bill and wrapped it

in a piece of paper, on which she had written, "Don't despair,

Sister Eulalia," and threw it out of the window to him. He picked

it up, read it, looked at her with a puzzled expression, tipped

his hat and went off down the street.

The next day she was in her cell saying her beads when she was

told that some man was at her door who insisted on seeing her.

She went down and found the shabbily dressed stranger waiting for

her. Without saying a word he handed her a roll of bills. When

she asked what they were for he replied, "That's the sixty bucks

you have coming. Don't Despair paid 5-1."

I see incuse has been hanging around a certain Red Nun too often

I would have lost my money and bet on Old River.

I might have bet on the sister's name instead!
