Apparently, that doesnt work both ways
He led them into his bedroom, where a large brass gong and a wooden mallet stood in the corner.
One of his friends pointed at it and asked,
What's with the big brass gong?
That's not a gong, the drunk replied proudly. It's a talking clock.
A talking clock? his friend asked. Seriously?
Yep.
How does it work?
Watch.
The drunk grabbed the mallet, swung it with all his might, and hit the brass gong with an ear-shattering BONG!
The three of them stood there in silence for a few seconds.
Then, from the other side of the wall, a furious voice yelled,
You idiot! It's 3:15 in the morning!
"You know, guys, it's so odd. My son went to Jerusalem to learn more about his faith, and I'll be damned if he didn't come back Christian." The second man says,
"Yeah, the same thing happened to my son." The third says
"Same guys. I think we should go talk to the Rabbi about it." They go, and the Rabbi just says, "I dunno, guys, I think you should just ask God." So they pray.
"God, we don't understand. Our sons went to Jerusalem to learn about their faith and came back Christian." God says,
"Huh, same thing happened to my son."
Just goes to show: beggars cant be chewers.
Being tired, he thought it was just a figment of his imagination and drove on without a second thought.
Not too long after he saw another sign that said 'Sisters of Mercy House of Prostitution 8 mi and realized the signs were real.
When he drove past a third sign saying, 'Sisters of Mercy House of Prostitution Next Right' his curiosity got the better of him and he pulled into the drive.
On the far side of the parking lot was a stone building with a small sign next to the door:
Sisters of Mercy
He climbed the stairs and rang the bell.
The door was answered by a nun in the customary black habit who said, 'What can we do for you, my son?
He answered, 'I saw your signs along the highway and was interested in possibly doing business.
'Very well, my son, please follow me.
He was led through many winding passages and was soon disoriented.
The nun stopped at a closed door and said, 'Please knock on this door.
He did as he was told. This door was answered by another nun holding a tin cup.
This nun said, 'Please place $50 in the cup, then go through the large wooden door at the end of this hallway.
He took $50 out of his wallet and placed it in the second nun's cup.
He trotted eagerly down the hall and slipped through the door, pulling it shut behind him.
As the door locked behind him he found himself back in the parking lot facing another small sign.
The sign read:
Go in Peace.
You Have Just Been Screwed
