I know the human being and the fish can coexist peacefully

The nuns are in the news again.   I've said it before and I'll say it again:  Nuns rule... at least those feisty ones from Joliet Illinois that taught me all I need to know about life.  Although I am a recovering Catholic, I don't regret even one of those days of wine and roses in Catholic school.  Here's just a sampling of what they taught me:

• How to close the snap on my coin purse... quietly
• How to do everything quietly
  
• How to march single file to almost anywhere
• The National Anthem goes "ba-ner-er yet wave" and not "ba-a-ner yet wave"
• If a sex act seems humorous, it is still God's plan (e.g. ostriches at the zoo on Catholic schools day)
• Don't believe everything priests tell you
• Darwin and God can coexist
  
• Smoking will stunt your growth
• Sticks and stones may break my bones, but rulers hurt more
  
• Your skirt should be long enough to touch the floor if you kneel
• Before we laugh at a foreign accent, we should picture ourselves in their country
• Not to pick my nose
• Don't fight on the playground... that's what alleys are for
  
• Sex isn't called "the marital embrace" for nothing
• We should hate the crime but love the criminal
• We should help the poor
• And my personal favorite:  God will forgive ANYTHING
