Joke of The Day – You Are A Nun – Funny

This story highlights a truly memorable day in the life of a traveling cleric (a nun) who encountered a most unusual fortune-telling machine at a bustling airport. It’s a classic tale that demonstrates the unpredictable nature of travel and life itself.

The Initial Encounter with the Fortune Machine

Our story begins with the cleric awaiting her scheduled air travel to a major city, “Chicago.” As she sat in the airport terminal, surrounded by the usual hustle and bustle of travelers, her attention was drawn to a peculiar coin-operated device. This was one of those old-fashioned machines designed to tell a person’s weight and, often, dispense a written fortune or prediction.

Curiosity got the better of her. Thinking, “I’ll give it a try and see what it tells me,” she walked over to the machine, stepped onto the scale platform, and inserted the required coin—a nickel.

The machine whirred for a moment, and out came a small card. The initial prediction was surprisingly accurate, listing details that were easily verifiable: “You are a nun. You weigh 128 lbs, and you are going to Chicago.”

The cleric initially dismissed this, assuming the machine was simply designed to give the same basic, general card to everyone. However, the more she reflected on the uncanny accuracy, the more her curiosity grew, prompting her to consider a second attempt.

A Surprising Musical Prediction

Driven by a growing sense of intrigue, she decided to test the machine’s predictive abilities once more. She returned, placed another nickel into the slot, and awaited the results.

The second card appeared, providing a startling new detail: “You are a Nun. You weigh 128 lbs. You are going to Chicago and you are going to play a fiddle.”

Upon reading this, the cleric was entirely certain the machine must be incorrect. She thought to herself, “I know that is wrong. I have never played a musical instrument even once in my life.” However, fate—or perhaps just coincidence—had other plans.

A short time later, a cowboy-like traveler approached and took a seat beside her, placing a distinct musical instrument case on the chair between them. In an unexpected moment, perhaps driven by the machine’s prediction, the cleric opened the case. Inside was the instrument mentioned: a fiddle. She impulsively took it out and began to play, much to her own surprise, creating what the story describes as beautiful music.

Stunned by the confirmation of the second prediction, she thought, “this is incredible. I’ve got to try this again.”

The Final, Unavoidable Prediction

Her third visit to the machine yielded an even more personal and awkward prediction. The new card read: “You are a Nun. You weigh 128 lbs. You are going to Chicago and you are going to break wind.”

Once again, she was adamant that the machine was wrong, thinking, “I’ve never broken wind in public a single time in my life.” She was about to step down from the scale when she suddenly lost her footing and slipped. As she exerted herself, straining intensely to regain her balance and prevent herself from falling completely to the floor, the unavoidable, final prediction came true.

Absolutely astonished by the sequential accuracy of the machine’s prophecies, she sat back down and reflected on the strange events of the day, saying to herself, “This is truly remarkable. I’ve got to try this again.”

She made her way back for one last try, inserting her final coin. This time, the machine delivered a comprehensive summary of her entire unexpected airport experience: “You are a Nun. You weigh 128 lbs. You have fiddled and far.ted around and missed your flight to Chicago.” The moral of the story is that, sometimes, following every unusual impulse in a busy place can cause you to lose track of essential, scheduled obligations, like catching your flight!
