Hiccups

“Doctor, I have hiccup attacks for over a month now and I can’t stand it: I cannot sleep, I cannot eat and my whole body is aching from all these sharp contractions…”

“Lie down on the examining table, Sister, I will examine you,” says the doctor.

After he is finished, he says, “My dear Sister, you are pregnant!”

“What!?” yells the nun, gets up and runs out of the consulting room, completely freaked out.

An hour later, the doctor receives a phone call from the Mother Superior at the convent: “Tell me, Doctor, what did you do to Sister Mary?”

“You will immediately understand, Mother: I told a white lie. As she had a severe attack of hiccups, I wanted to scare her to make it go away. And I guess it worked, did it not?” asks the doctor.

“Yes, Sister Mary no longer has the hiccups, but Father Damien has thrown himself from the belfry!”
