A Fire at the Convent
Published Jan 01, 1900
Several nuns were in there second floor convent one night when a fire broke out. The nuns took their habits off and tied them together to make a rope to get out of the burning building via the window.
After they were safely on the ground and out of the building, a news reporter came over to one of the nuns and said to her, "Weren't you afraid that the habits could have ripped or broken since they are old?"
"No, of course not," the nun replied, "don't you know old habits are hard to break?"
