\nSister Mary\u2019s Speeding Ticket<\/p>\n

Sister Mary was driving the convent\u2019s old car on the highway when she was pulled over by a young state trooper for speeding. The officer walked up to the window with a stern face: \u201cSister, do you know you were doing 90 mph in a 50 mph zone?\u201d<\/p>\n

Sister Mary looked at him with gentle eyes, clasped her hands, and said: \u201cOh my son, I am terribly sorry. I was on my way to deliver food to the lonely elderly, and I truly felt like the Lord was right beside me, protecting and pushing this car to go faster so I wouldn\u2019t be late.\u201d<\/p>\n

The young cop felt a bit guilty and was about to let her go with a warning. But then he noticed a large, locked wooden box on the back seat. Curious, he asked: \u201cWhat\u2019s inside that box, Sister?\u201d<\/p>\n

Sister Mary smiled mysteriously: \u201cThat is a holy secret of the convent, my son. It contains something that can make any man fall to his knees in pure awe and fear.\u201d<\/p>\n

The officer, overcome with curiosity, insisted she open it. Sister Mary sighed, pulled out a key, and unlocked the box. The cop peered inside\u2026 and immediately turned pale. He handed her license back and said: \u201cYou can go, Sister! Drive as fast as you want! No ticket today!\u201d<\/p>\n

As it turned out, inside the box was a double-barreled sh*tg*n with a note that read: \u201cChurch Renovation Fund \u2013 Donate voluntarily, or meet the Lord early!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
