Well I’m a Ravens fan and go on....they win the Super Bowl last year then go on to trade all the good players on the team.

We do have Jacoby and he’s a really great dancer so there’s that.

Heh. I like the Sister Pat name and go on, everybody in my surround now calls me that and, again, I right like it.

Understand that a lot of my humor was in the costume itself. It was just perfect....I dunno, I order it online, simple thing, size 14, fit me great....and cheap....$20.

I didn’t accept reimbursement from the church cause I want to keep the costume...Halloween and such.

Or....heh....

Coming in dark and silent February in these parts we have a volunteer dinner. Just like it sounds....volunteers get a free meal, get to dance.

I’m thinking they need a Sister Pat come cheer them up, make them smile till the snow birds come home.

What you think?

Please talk me out of this. All I can say is that I DO consider myself a humorous person but this does not a standup comedian make.

But when I came out of that bathroom dressed as a nun with a three foot ruler in my hand, I became Sister Pat and I was great. They were screaming in the aisles, yes they were. I walked around in my costume, asking people if this was the Talent Show and where do I do my act?

I was so in my element and even then I wasn’t even yet on stage. My daughter taped it but we don’t know how to get it off her new cell phone. It’s posted on Facebook but I can’t link to it if you’re not on Facebook. Or something.

It’s no mind....just use your imagination. I had only two jokes to tell and like I said upthread, I was scared to death all week. I’d never done such a thing before and bear in mind they had close to 200 people there. Tickets sold out and we went to for five bucks you could sit in the back but no food.

Heh.

I watched my video and the timing was perfect. Yeah, I practiced, but not all that much. I felt so in my element, here I am 63 and full of myself.

In the end I said, to a mostly Catholic audience:

“Us Catholics don’t mind laughing at ourselves (-I’d just finished two hilarious Catholic joke-). Always remember, no matter what you think of the Catholic church, this church feeds six million people every day. The church does not ask ‘Are you Catholic?’. ‘The church asks ‘Are you hungry?’ .”

So much to ponder can be inserted while people are laughing.

It’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Pat,

It’s a great story - you should stick to it!!

Jacoby may be a great dancer, but our Wilson (a SUPER QB), Sherman, Tate, et al — well, IMHO they’re exciting and great players. Our FG kicker doesn’t get much press, but he’s excellent as well!

I don’t recall that you mentioned the ruler with your costume in the past - - ROFLOL!!! - PERFECT touch!

I think Sister Pat should be at the volunteer dinner - you go girl!

I agree, us Catholics do like to laugh at ourselves; and, the Church does immense good around the world. FYI - I have part of my annual donations directed to various Catholic entities - totally believe in all the good they are doing.

Fish,
That had to be a hoot. You should stick with it and develop it to really pack a punch. So many are making fun of nuns while you are lifting them up.
Good work
