- One day Johnny was working at a convent and the nun in charge of the food there was not very generous. When he went to his dinner it happened to be a Friday and he saw a bit of fish in a plate surrounded with a quantity of sauce. The nun was present so Johnny sat looking at the fish for a few minutes and then he began to take off his coat. When the nun saw him she asked him what he was doing so he said he should either swim into him or wait until the tide went out.
