The Nun 'Goes' at the Tavern

The Nun 'Goes' at the Tavern

A nun, badly needing to use to the restroom, walked into a local tavern.
The place was hopping with music and loud conversation.

Every once-in-a-while, the lights would turn off.
Each time the lights would go out, the place would erupt into cheers.
However, when the revelers saw the nun, the room went dead silent.
She walked up to the bartender, and asked, "May I please use the restroom?"
The bartender replied, "OK, but I should warn you that there is a statue of a naked man in there wearing only a fig leaf."
"Well, in that case I'll just look the other way," said the nun.
So, the bartender showed the nun to the women's restroom.
After a few minutes, she came out, and the whole place gave the nun a raucus round of applause.
She went to the bartender and said,
"Sir, I don't understand. Did they applaud for me just because I went to the restroom?"
"Well, now they know you're one of us," said the bartender, "Would you like a drink?"
But, I still don't understand," Said the puzzled nun.
"You see," laughed the bartender, "every time someone lifts the fig leaf on that statue, the lights go out. Now, how about that drink?"
