An elderly British tourist suffered a serious heart attack while out
shopping in Rome.
A concerned passer-by called for an ambulance when he saw him collapse to
the pavement.
The ambulance rushed the man to the nearest hospital where he had emergency
open heart bypass surgery.
He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at a local
Catholic Hospital. A nun was seated next to his bed holding a clipboard
loaded with several forms, and a pen.
She asked him how he was going to pay for his treatment.
"You 'ave 'ealth eensurance?" she asked in faltering English.
He replied in a raspy voice, "No health insurance."
The nun asked, "You 'ave monny in da bank?"
He replied, "No money in the bank."
"You 'ave relateev oo canna pay?" asked the irritated nun.
He said, "I only have a spinster sister and she is a nun."
The nun became agitated and announced loudly, "Nuns are notta speenstars!
Nuns are married to God."
The patient replied, "Perfect. Send the bill to my brother-in-law."
