A young soldier came sprinting toward a nun, completely out of breath.
“Sister, please!” he gasped. “May I hide under your skirt? I promise I’ll explain afterward!”
The nun studied him for a moment…
Then quietly nodded.
“Very well.”
A few seconds later, two Military Police officers came rushing around the corner.
“Excuse us, Sister,” one asked. “Have you seen a soldier run through here?”
Without hesitation, the nun calmly pointed down the road.
“Yes… he went that way.”
The officers thanked her and raced off.
Once they were safely out of sight, the soldier climbed out from under her habit, brushing himself off.
“Sister, thank you! You saved me.”
“I just don’t want to be shipped off to Iraq.”
The nun smiled warmly.
“I understand completely.”
After an awkward pause, the soldier cleared his throat.
“I hope this doesn’t sound disrespectful…”
“…but you have a very nice pair of legs.”
The nun couldn’t help but smile.
Then she leaned in and replied,
“If you’d looked just a little higher…”
“…you would’ve seen a very nice pair of combat boots.”
She winked.
“I don’t want to go to Iraq either.” 😂
