Johnny Ryan suffered a serious heart attack and was forced to undergo emergency open heart surgery.
He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the dedicated love and care of nuns at a Catholic Hospital.
As he was recovering, a nun asked him questions regarding how he was going to pay for his hospital treatment.
She asked Johnny “Do you have health insurance Mr Ryan?”
He replied in a raspy whisper “I am sorry Sister, I don’t be having any of that health insurance.”
The nun asked “Do you have money in the bank Mr Ryan?”
Mr Ryan replied “Sure it’s to me shame, but I’ve no money in the bank either, Sister.”
The nun then asked “Do you have a relative who could help you financially?”
Ryan replied “I have only got a spinster sister, and she is a nun like yourself.”
The nun became slightly agitated and announced loudly “Nuns are not spinsters Mr Ryan! Nuns are married to God.”
Ryan replied “In that case Sister, sure you could just send on the bill to me brother-in-law.”
