[lace-chat] :) Hippies, the previous generation

[Tamara P. Duvall]

Jean Nathan's joke (on the matter of spices) remined me of an old, old 
(all the way back to my own late teens) favourite. When "a hippie" was 
still a new, exciting, and not entirely understood idea, and "a nun" 
was still an old one ... :)

~~~~~~~~~~~
Two male hippies are walking down the street -- full Afro with ribbons 
and flowers, torn clothes, bare feet -- the whole nine yards.  They 
encounter a nun -- black habit to the ground, face carefully wrapped to 
show none of the hairline, the hairdress/sail a meter high -- again, 
the whole nine yards, if in the opposite direction.

But, the nun also "sports" a pair of crutches...

As they come face to face, one of the hippies says:
"Peace be with you, Sister. What happened to your leg?"
The nun  replies:
"God be with you, child. I broke it, getting out of the bathtub"
They nod, they smile, they pass... A block or so later, one of the 
hippies asks the other: "What the eff is a 'bathtub'?"

The second one replies:
"Don't ask *me*; I'm not religious"
