Quick Life Lesson

One of my friends is in charge of the part-time help hired by an old-age home run by an order of nuns.

She confided to the mother superior, a feisty little nun of 70, that she always felt uncomfortable giving the young girls the obligatory lecture about the need to be careful around certain of the older male patients.

The mother superior volunteered to give it for her, and eventually reduced my friend’s 30 minutes of embarrassed rambling to a one-liner that has now become famous around the place.

“Girls,” she announced. “Just remember—old ain’t dead.”
