Three Old Spinsters

[Mrs Glockrunner]

Three old spinsters die and go to heaven and at the Pearly Gates, they are met by St Peter.

 

He says: “Ladies, you all led such wonderful lives that I’m granting you six months to go back to earth and be anyone you want to be.”

 

The first spinster says: “I want to be Sophia Loren.”

 

With a bang, she’s gone.

 

The second says: “I want to be Madonna.”

 

 

She also disappears immediately.

 

The third says: “I want to be Sara Pipalini.”

 

St Peter looks perplexed. “Who?” he says.

 

“Sara Pipalini,” replies the old spinster.

 

 

St Peter shakes his head and says: “I’m sorry, but that name just doesn’t ring a bell.”

 

The old woman then takes a newspaper out of her purse and hands it to St Peter. He reads the paper and starts laughing.

 

He hands it back to her and says: “No, my dear woman, the paper says it was the ‘Sahara Pipeline’ that was laid by 1,400 men in 6 months.”
