He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at a Catholic hospital. As he was recovering, a nun asked him questions regarding how he was going to pay for services. He was asked if he had health insurance. He replied, in a raspy voice, “No health insurance.” The nun asked if he had money in the bank. He replied, “No money in the bank.” The nun asked, “Do you have a relative who could help you?” He said, “I only have a spinster sister, who is a nun.” The nun got a little perturbed and announced loudly. “Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns are married to God,” The patient replies, “That’s right! Send the bill to my brother-in-law.”
Good Things Happen to Good People / A Great Story In a supermarket, Kurtis the stock boy, was busily working when a new voice came over the intercom asking for a carry out at check register 4. Kurtis was almost finished, and wanted to get some fresh air, and decided to answer the call. As he approached the checkout stand a distance smile caught his eye, the new check out girl was beautiful. She was an older woman (maybe 26, and he was only 22) and he immediately fell in love. Later that day, after his shift was over, he waited by the punch out clock to find out her name. She came into the break room and smiled softly at him and took her card and punched out and left. He looked at her card -BRENDA. He walked out only to see her start walking up the road. The next day, he waited outside as she left the supermarket, and offered her a ride home. He looked harmless enough, and she accepted. When he dropped her off, he asked if maybe he could see her again, outside of work. She simply said it wasn’t possible. He pressed and then she explained she had two children and she couldn’t afford a baby-sitter. So he offered to pay for the baby-sitter. She reluctantly accepted his offer for a date for the following Saturday. That Saturday night he arrived at her door only to have her tell him that she was unable to go out with him. The baby-sitter had called and canceled. To which Kurtis simply said, “Well, lets take the kids with us.” She tried to explain that taking the children was not an option, but again not taking no for an answer, he pressed. Finally Brenda brought him inside to meet her children. She had an older daughter who was very cute, Kurtis thought Then Brenda brought out her son, in a wheelchair. He was born a paraplegic with Down’s syndrome. Kurtis asked Brenda, “I still don’t understand why the kids can’t come with us?” Brenda was amazed. Most men would run away from a woman with two kids, especially if one had disabilities, just like her first husband and father of the children did. That evening Kurtis and Brenda loaded up the kids went to dinner and the movies. When her son needed anything Kurtis would take care of him. When he needed to use the restroom, he picked him up out of his wheelchair and took him. The kids loved Kurtis. At the end of the evening, Brenda knew this was the man she was going to marry and spend the rest of her life with. A year later, they were married and Kurtis adopted both of her children and since then have added two more children to the family. So what ever happened to the stock boy and the check out girl? Well, Mr. and Mrs. Kurt Warner, now live in St. Louis, where he is employed by the St.Louis Rams and plays quarterback. Kurt will quarterback the Rams this Sunday in Super Bowl XXXVI
