Key to Heaven

"Key to Heaven"

It was time for Father John's Saturday night
bath, the older nun which normally assisted
in this task was a little under the weathers
so she instructed Sister Magdalene, a young
nun on how to prepare the bath water and towels.
Sister Magdalene was also instructed not to
look at Father John's nakedness if she could
help it, do whatever she's told to do, and pray.

The next morning the old nun asks the sister
how the bath had gone. "Oh sister," said the
young nun dreamily, "I've been saved!"

"Saved? How did that come about?" asked
the old nun.

"Well, when Father John was soaking in the tub,
he asked me to wash him. And while I was
washing him, he guided my hand down between
his legs where he said the Lord keeps the key
to heaven."

"Did he now--" the old nun said.

Sister Magdalene continued, "And, Father John
said that if the key to heaven fit my lock, the
portals of heaven would open to me, and I
would be assured of salvation and eternal
peace. And then Father John guided his key
to heaven into my lock."

"Is that a fact?" said the old nun.

"At first it hurt terribly, but Father John said that
the pathway to salvation was often painful and
that the glory of G~d would soon swell my heart
with ecstasy. And it did, it felt so good being saved."

"That wicked old devil!" said the old nun, "He told
me it was Gabriel's Horn, and I've been blowing
it these past forty years!"
