A guy was in New York on a business trip and decided to
head to a local bar for a drink. Standing outside the bar
was a nun
holding a tin cup.

As the man threw a few bucks into her cup the nun launched
into a long tirade about the evils of alcohol. She went on
and on about
how alcohol was tearing apart the fabric of society and how
it was the root of all the city's problems.

Slightly pissed off at having to listen to this the guy
said,

"Listen sister, I work hard for my money and sometimes
at the end of a long day I like a drink or two. That
doesn't make me a bad
person. I have a wife I idolize and two wonderful kids at
home. I provide for my family, I volunteer my time to
several local
service clubs and I contribute regularly to various
charities. Yet you stand here and condemn me just because I
drink the
occasional glass of scotch!"

The nun was slightly taken aback and replied, "I see
your point my son and I apologize if I offended you but the
alcohol is such
a powerful demon that all who consume it are
doomed..."

"Look there you go again," said the man,
"How can you make such a sweeping statement. Have you
ever even TRIED alcohol?"

"Of course not!" gasped the nun, "The evil
alcohol has never touched my lips."

"Do you really think that one glass of booze can
change you from a devout nun to some kind of evil
degenerate?"

"Well, I really don't know ...."

"I'll tell you what, come into the bar with me and
I'll buy you a drink. One drink. I'll prove to you
that "evil" is not inside the
glass, it's inside the person."

"Oh I could never be seen going into such a den of
inequity, it's out of the question. However, your
comment about evil residing in
the person rather than the glass is quite intriguing. I
must admit you've aroused a curiosity in me."

"Well let's go inside and settle this"

"No my son, I could never enter such a place... but
how about this. Take my tin cup with you and fill it with
this "scotch" you
mentioned. Bring it out to me and I'll try it."

"You're on!" said the guy.

The nun removed all the change and handed him the tin cup.
He went into the bar and said to the bartender, "Two
scotch on the
rocks, and could you put one of them in this tin cup
please"

The bartender sighed and said,

"Is that fucking nun out there again!"
