Three little old nuns are attending a church service in Rome when, in a freak accident, a giant crucifix falls from the old plaster wall and kills them.

When they arrive at the Pearly Gates Saint Peter says, “I’m so sorry, Sisters, that was a freak accident and wasn’t supposed to happen.

“Unfortunately, your Earthy bodies were too horribly mangled for us to just send your souls back, but we do have a protocol for cases like yours.

“What we do is, we let you choose a person on Earth. You get to inhabit their body, but unfortunately, it’s only for six months.

“Okay, Sister Giuseppina, you first. Who would you like to return as?”

“Sophia Loren,” says Sister Giuseppina.

Saint Peter types into his workstation for a few seconds and Sister Giuseppina disappears in a puff of smoke. “Okay, Sister Lucrezia, you’re next. Who would you like to be?”

“Gina Lollobrigida,” answers Sister Lucrezia. Again, Saint Peter types on his keyboard, and Sister Lucrezia disappears in a puff of smoke.

“Sister Benedetta. Who would you like to return as?”

“Sarah Pippolini,” she says.

Saint Peter types for a few seconds, frowns, and types some more. “I’m sorry, Sister, I’m not getting a match for anyone with that name.”

“Sarah Pippolini, Sarah Pippolini!” the little old nun cries imploringly, shaking a newspaper under Saint Peter’s nose.

Saint Peter takes the newspaper and reads it.

“No, you see, Sister, “Saint Peter explains. “This says, the Sahara Pipeline was laid by twelve thousand men in six months.”
