Words of Wisdom
-------------------------

The wise old Mother Superior from county Tipperary was   
dying. The nuns gathered around her bed trying to make her   
comfortable. They gave her some warm milk to drink, but she   
refused it. Then one nun took the glass back to the kitchen.
Remembering a bottle of Irish whiskey received as a gift   
the previous Christmas, she opened and poured a generous amount   
into the warm milk.

Back at Mother Superior's bed, she held the glass to her   
lips. Mother Superior drank a little, then a little more.   
Before they knew it, she had drunk the whole glass down to   
the last drop.


"Mother", the nuns pleaded, "Please give us some wisdom   
before you die". She raised herself up in bed with a pious   
look on her face and said, "Don't sell that cow".
