Daily Joke: A Nun Says Beer Is for Washing Hair The Cashiers Reply Is Priceless

Two nuns were doing their weekly grocery shopping at a local food store on a warm summer afternoon. They slowly made their way through the aisles, picking up a few essentials and chatting quietly as they went. Eventually, they passed by the refrigerated section where the cold drinks were kept. As they walked by the beer cooler, one of the nuns paused for a moment and looked through the glass door.

With a small smile, she turned to the other nun and said, “You know, on a hot summer evening like this, a nice cold beer or two would probably taste wonderful.”

The second nun raised her eyebrows slightly and nodded in agreement. “Indeed it would, Sister,” she replied thoughtfully. “But I certainly wouldn’t feel comfortable buying beer myself. I’m quite sure it would cause quite a scene at the check-out counter.”

The first nun chuckled softly. “Oh, don’t worry about that,” she said confidently. “I can handle it without any trouble at all.”

Without another word, she opened the cooler door, grabbed a six-pack of beer, and calmly placed it in their shopping basket. The two nuns then walked toward the checkout line as if nothing unusual had happened.

When it was their turn, they set their groceries on the counter, including the six-pack of beer. The cashier glanced down at the items and then looked up at the two nuns standing in front of him. A surprised expression quickly spread across his face, clearly puzzled by what he was seeing.

Noticing his reaction, the first nun spoke up right away with a calm and serious tone.

“We use beer for washing our hair,” she explained. “It works quite well, actually. It’s a kind of shampoo… if you will.”

The cashier didn’t say a word at first. Instead, he slowly bent down behind the counter and reached for something out of sight. After a moment, he stood back up holding a small package of pretzel sticks. He casually placed them in the bag along with the beer.

Then he looked the nun straight in the eye, smiled politely, and said, “The curlers are on the house.”
