The cabbie and the nun

A cabbie picks up a Nun.

She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome
cab driver won't stop staring at her.

She asks him why he is staring.

He replies:
'I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you.'

She answers,
'My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am
and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and
hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could
say or ask that I would find offensive.'

'Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun ki ss me.'

She responds,
'Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have
to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.'

The cab driver is very excited and says,
'Yes, I'm single and Catholic!'

'OK' the nun says. 'Pull into the next alley.'

The nun fulfills his fantasy, with a kiss that would
make a hooker blush.

But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.

'My dear child,' says the nun, 'why are you crying?'

'Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess,
I'm married and I'm Jewish.'

The nun says, 'That's OK.
My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party.'

Is nothing new?


Was having a random browse around the Internet just now (using Stumble if you must know) and came across a series of vintage ads. Scrolling down I came across a "picturephone" - yes, a telephone with a video screen in......go on, guess...well it was originally launched in 1964 at the New York World Trade Fair but it was a touch unwieldy so they released a more compact version in the early 70s.

And we thought video conferencing was a thing of the mid to late 90s.......just goes to show huh!
