Sara Pipalini

    Three Italian nuns die and go to heaven, where St. Peter meets them at the Pearly Gates.  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.”  The first nun says, “I want-a to be Sophia Loren” and poof, she’s gone.  The second says, “I want-a to be Madonna” and poof, she’s gone.  The third says, “I want-a to be Sara Pipalini.”  St. Peter looks perplexed.  “Who?” he says.  “Sara Pipalini” replies the nun.  St. Peter shakes his head and says, “I’m sorry but that name just doesn’t ring a bell.”  The nun then takes a newspaper clipping out of her habit and hands it to St. Peter.  He reads the paper and starts laughing.  Then he hands it back to her and says, “No, Sister, this says ‘Sahara Pipeline laid by 500 men in seven days’!”
