IJMC Can You See It Coming?

                     IJMC - Can You See It Coming?

You know, a good friend of mine has been telling me that the IJMC just 
isn't quite junk. She means it as a compliment I'm sure, but well...this 
came across my e-desk and just has to go out...if you don't know the 
punchline by the time you get halfway through, talk to me about some 
real estate holdings...                                            -dave






 Sisters of Mercy

 A man is driving down a deserted stretch of highway, when he notices
 a sign out of the corner of his eye. It reads: SISTERS OF MERCY HOUSE
 OF PROSTITUTION - 10 MILES. He thinks it was just a figment of his
 imagination and drives on without a second thought. Soon, he sees
 another sign which says: SISTERS OF MERCY HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION - 5 
 MILES and realizes that these signs are for real. When he drives past a 
 third sign saying: SISTERS OF MERCY HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION NEXT RIGHT 
 his curiosity gets the best of him and he pulls into the drive. On the 
 far side of the parking lot is a somber stone building with a small 
 sign next to the door reading: SISTERS OF MERCY. He climbs the steps and 
 rings the bell. The door is answered by a nun in a long black habit 
 who asks, "What may we do for you, my son?" He answers, "I saw your 
 signs along the highway, and was interested in possibly doing business." 
 "Very well, my son. Please follow me." He is led through many winding 
 passages and is soon quite disoriented. The nun stops at a closed door, 
 and tells the man, "Please knock on this door". He does as he is told and 
 this door is answered by another nun in a long habit and holding a tin 
 cup. This nun instructs, "Please place $50 in the cup, then go through 
 the large wooden door at the end of this hallway." He gets $50 out of 
 his wallet and places it in the second nun's cup. He trots eagerly
 down the hall and slips through the door, pulling it shut behind him.
 As the door locks behind him, he finds himself back in the parking
 lot, facing another small sign:

 GO IN PEACE, YOU HAVE JUST BEEN SCREWED BY THE  SISTERS OF MERCY.
