A man is driving down a deserted stretch of highway, when he notices
a sign. It reads "SISTERS OF MERCY HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION - 10
MILES". He pays no attention to it and drives on without a second
thought.
Soon, he sees another sign which says "SISTERS OF MERCY
HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION - 5 MILES" and thinks it over.
When he drives past a third sign saying "SISTERS OF MERCY HOUSE OF
PROSTITUTION NEXT RIGHT", his curiosity gets the best of him and
he pulls into the drive.
On the far side of the parking lot is a somber stone building with a small
sign next to the door reading SISTERS OF MERCY. He climbs the steps
and rings the bell. The door is answered by a nun in a long black habit
who asks, "What may we do for you, my son?" He answers, "I saw
your signs along the highway, and was interested in possibly doing
business". "Very well, my son. Please follow me."
He is led through many winding passages and is soon quite disoriented.
The nun stops at a closed door, and tells the man, "Please knock on this
door". He does as he is told and this door is answered by another nun in
a long habit and holding a tin cup. This nun instructs, "Please place $50
in the cup, then go through the large wooden door at the end of this
hallway." He gets $50 out of his wallet and places it in the second nun's
cup. He trots eagerly down the hall and slips through the door, pulling
it shut behind him. As the door locks behind him, he finds himself back in
the parking lot, facing another small sign: 'GO IN PEACE, YOU HAVE
JUST BEEN SCREWED BY THE SISTERS OF MERCY
