A 98-year-old Mother Superior from Ireland
was dying. The nuns gathered around her bed
trying to make her last journey comfortable.
They tried giving her some warm milk to drink
but she refused it. One of the nuns took the
glass back to the kitchen and remembering a
bottle of Irish whiskey received as a gift the
previous Christmas… She opened it and
poured a generous amount into the warm
milk. Back at Mother Superior’s bed, the nun
held the glass to her lips. Mother drank a
little…. Then a little more. Before they knew it,
she had drunk the whole glass down to the
last drop. “Mother,” the nuns asked with
earnest, “please give us some wisdom before
you die.” She raised herself up in bed and
whispered, “Don’t sell that cow!”
