TWO WHEELS

Dave Buckingham told me a true story about when he was attending the Memorial University.

He told me that in the class were two or three Roman Catholic sisters. They were easily distinguishable by their traditional long black dresses and shawls and other pieces of the habit.

In the middle of the semester an edict had been published by the Pope that allowed the sisters to discard their traditional dress and wear skirts and blouses with kerchiefs on their heads. The sisters in the class immediately adopted the new dress and some in the class did not recognize those new students.

One afternoon a male friend of Dave's was glancing around the room and as he looked backwards he recognized Sister Mary Acquin for the first time. He kept looking back at her and each time looked down at her legs. Sister caught him a couple of times when he looked at her and when she could stand it no longer she burst forth with a real class stopper, including the lecturing professor, and this is what she said, "WHAT DID YOU THINK I HAD UNDER THEM LONG DRESSES...TWO WHEELS?"
