98 year old Mother Superior from Ireland was dying.
The nuns gathered around her bed trying to make her last journey
comfortable.
They tried giving her some warm milk to drink, but
she refused it. One of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen
and remembering a bottle of Irish whiskey received as a gift the previous
Christmas, she opened it and poured a generous amount into the warm milk.
Back at Mother Superior's bed, she held the glass to her lips.
Mother drank a little, then a little more and before they knew it, she had drunk the whole glass down to the last drop.
'Mother,' the nuns asked with earnest,
Please give us some wisdom before you die'.
She raised herself up in bed and said,
'Don't sell that cow.'
