The Checks in the Mail?

A man suffers a serious heart attack and has open heart bypass surgery. He is in the care of nuns at a Catholic Hospital. As he is recovering, a nun asks him questions regarding how he is going to pay for services. He is asked if he has health insurance. He replies in a raspy voice, "no health insurance". The nun asks if he has money in the bank. He replies, "no money in the bank." She asks, "do you have a relative who could help you?" He responds he only has a spinster sister who is a nun. The nun gets a little perturbed and announces loudly that, "Nuns are not spinsters. Nuns are married to God!" The patient replies, "Send the bill to my brother-in-law."
