Who'll Pay?

A man suffered a serious heart attack and had emergency open heart surgery which saved his life. He awakened from surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at a Catholic Hospital.

As he was recovering, a nun with a clip board stopped in to see him. She asked how he was going to pay for his treatment. Did he have health insurance?

He replied, in a raspy voice, "No health insurance."

The nun asked if he had money in the bank.

Again he replied, "No money in the bank."

The nun asked, "Do you have a relative who could help you?"

He said, "I only have a spinster sister, who is a nun."

His statement seemed to agitate the nun who came back loudly with, "Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns are married to God!"

The patient replied, "In that case, send the bill to my brother-in-law."
