   First, the "Love to eat them mousies" was from one of B. Kliban's "cat"
cartoons.
   Second, "Springtime for Hitler" could also be posted to net.dementia
(if ever there was such a newsgroup -- HINT! HINT!!)
*(Yes I did post it to net.news.group, but noone responded)
   Ok, enough drivel and on with the joke......
I first heard this while vacationing in Pinellas Park, Florida.  It was the
first part of a homily given by a priest during mass.
   There were these two nuns who went up to St. Anne's Shrine (in Quebec)
 during the time of Prohibition here in the States.  They went up for a
 bit of relaxation and prayer; St. Anne's was known for its 'miracle' cases.
 When they were coming back, the customs man said to them, "Good day, ladies.
Do you have anything to declare?"  They replied "No, we're just tourists
coming back from a week at St. Anne's."  "Well,", continued the customs
agent, "it's standard policy that we must search your luggage."  They
consented, so he began to search their bags.  About a minute after he 
started searching, he found a vial of holy water.  One of the nuns said,
"That's holy water."  Suspicious, the customs agent opened the vial,
sniffed it, and tasted a drop of the fluid he put on the tip of his finger.
He exclaimed, "This tastes exactly like whiskey!".  To that, the nuns
looked to heaven, outstretched their arms, and shouted "Another miracle!"
