A man is driving down a deserted stretch of highway, when he notices
a sign out of the corner of his eye. It reads SISTERS OF MERCY HOUSE OF
PROSTITUTION - 10 MILES. He thinks it was just a figment of his imagination
and drives on without a second thought. Soon, he sees another sign which
says SISTERS OF MERCY HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION - 5 MILES and realizes that
these signs are for real. When he drives past a third sign saying SISTERS
OF MERCY HOUSE OF PROSTITUTION NEXT RIGHT, his curiosity gets the best
of him and he pulls into the drive. On the far side of the parking lot
is a somber stone building with a small sign next to the door reading SISTERS
OF MERCY. He climbs the steps and rings the bell. The door is answered
by a nun in a long black habit who asks, "What may we do for you, my son?"
He answers, "I saw your signs along the highway, and was interested in
possibly doing business." "Very well, my son. Please follow me." He is
led through many winding passages and is soon quite disoriented. The nun
stops at a closed door, and tells the man, "Please knock on this door".
He does as he is told and this door is answered by another nun in a long
habit and holding a tin cup. This nun instructs, "Please place $50 in the
cup, then go through the large wooden door at the end of this hallway."
He gets $50 out of his wallet and places it in the second nun's cup. He
trots eagerly down the hall and slips through the door, pulling it shut
behind him. As the door locks behind him, he finds himself back in the
parking lot, facing another small sign: GO IN PEACE, YOU HAVE JUST BEEN
SCREWED BY THE SISTERS OF MERCY.
