Lines: 16 From: Mike Ciaraldi Maybe this should be in net.jokes.d, but.... The problem with the three-nun joke is that the second nun would not, in fact, have been admitted into heaven. The "Immaculate Conception" refers to Mary's being conceived (by HER parents) and born without Original Sin. That she became pregnant while still a virgin is referred to as the "Virgin Birth", appropriately enough. If you have to know these things to get to heaven, a lot of use may be in trouble.
