When Sister Mary Theresa Magdalena entered the Convent of Absolute
Silence, the Abbess said, "Sister, this is a silent convent. You are
welcome here as
long as you keep silent. You may not speak unless I direct you to
speak."

Sister Mary Theresa Magdalena lived in the Convent of Silence for 5
years,
and then one day the Abbess said to her, "Sister Mary Theresa Magdalena,
you
have been here for 5 years. You may speak two words, if you wish."

Sister Mary Theresa Magdalena said, "Hard bed."

"Well," said the Abbess, "I am sorry about that. We will get you a
softer
bed."

Five more years went by before the Abbess again summoned Sister Mary
Theresa Magdalena into her office. "Sister Mary Theresa Magdalena, you
may say
another two words."

"Cold food," said Sister Mary Theresa Magdalena.

The Abbess assured her that her food would be served warm in the
future.

On the 15th anniversary of her entrance into the Convent of Absolute
Silence, the Abbess again called Sister Mary Theresa Magdalena into her
office.
"You may say two more words today, Sister."

"I quit," said Sister Mary Theresa Magdalena.

"It is probably best," said the Abbess. "All you have done since you
came
here is complain."

When he left the convent :D

The world's not the only thing that changed........
 
so, simbrooks, have you broken your bow of chastity yet? oh wait.. i forget...
it's not voluntary...

and dude, when i left the convent, there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth
on the part of the nuns, let me tell you what...

:eyebrow:
 
H2Andy:
have you broken your bow of chastity yet?
I have never had a bow of chastity - no need to shoot them down, thereby rendering them immobile before you have sex - that is just medieval in nature and i hope you didnt learn that in the convent - i would consider it a very bad habit! ;)
 
doh!!!

vow, of course... see what happens when you type in a hurry?
 
Freudian slip me thinks. I believe that is how the current Mrs Rojas was "collected", you shot her down like a fawn in the woods, hogtied her just in case she managed to overcome the incapacitating arrow from your bow of chastity - the rest is history...... Maybe you should take time over your typing - charge it to your clients work ;)
 
some of us have quite the imagination...

but then again, that's what happens when all you can do is think about it...

as to bow and vow...

you will bow before me and vow your bow to my services, and you will
bow your violin but won't tie yourself in a bow knot doing so. thus you will vow.
 
That is what happens when you have a slow day at the office ;)
