A man suffered a serious heart attack while shopping in a store.
The store clerks called 911 when they saw him collapse to the floor.
The paramedics rushed the man to the nearest hospital where he had emergency open-heart bypass surgery.
He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at the Catholic Hospital.
A nun was seated next to his bed holding a clipboard loaded with several forms and a pen.
She asked him how he was going to pay for his treatment.
"Do you have health insurance?" she asked.
He replied in a raspy voice, "No health insurance."
The nun asked, "Do you have money in the bank?"
He replied, "No money in the bank."
Do you have a relative who could help you with the payments?" asked the irritated nun.
He said, "I only have a spinster sister, and she is a nun."
The nun became agitated and announced loudly, "Nuns are not spinsters!
Nuns are married to God."
The patient replied, "Perfect. Send the bill to my brother-in-law."

I would have liked to see the nun's face at that response.
Sue - How about if he said send the bill to my sister-in-law?
That would be fine by me - but would also give the nun a very lemon-lipped expression.
Hahahahahaha, the best joke yet!
Sue - Lemon-lipped is a new expression for me. I can imagine the look though.
Frank - Stick to the topic frank.
Deb - Now you've set the bar even higher for me. :o Not good since I have a tendancy to walk into the bar. Now I'll be walking under it.
An old joke that really lends itself to shaggy-dog treatment.
Bill - Serious or comedic? Comedic shaggy dog stories can be frustrating in their randomness but often succeed in execution. I think this one was a resounding success. :)
