Back In The Habit

This post is because I wanted to, not because its a good photo. I was doing my paparazzi bit in Imperial Gardens! Well, its not every day you see a nun. Unless you live in a convent. Or are a nun. But then you would be a nun if you lived in a convent! Anyway. I last posted nuns, two for the price of one, here. And check out the comments there too for some nun-related jokes. The main reason for wanting to post this photo? So I could use the title! I'm easily pleased.

Nun Of It

At the end of yesterdays post I asked for any insect jokes. The response was non existent (sorry Babooshka, yours was so bad it didn't count!) Although Ming made a tempting offer. He said he didn't have an insect joke but he had a good nun joke, and that he'd tell it if I posted a nun photo. Well, I like a challenge, so off I went in search of a nun. Now I don't think I've ever seen a nun in Cheltenham so I didn't really know where to look. I wandered around, did a bit of shopping, but no nuns. I was just about to head home, feeling annoyed at the lack of nuns, when who should walk round the corner? Yes, two nuns! By the time I got my camera out they were off down the High Street, but using my zoom (paparazzi style) I got a photo! Ming, over to you...

Here is my nun joke to get the ball rolling.

Three nuns arrive at the pearly gates and are met by St Peter. He says they all have to answer one question before they can get into heaven. The first nun is asked, "Who was the first man on earth." She replies, ''Oh that's easy, Adam!'' "Correct," says St Peter and the pearly gates open. The second nun is asked, ''Who was the first woman on earth?'' she says, ''That's easy, Eve!'' "Correct," says St Peter and the pearly gates open. St Peter then asks the third nun, ''What was the first thing Eve said to Adam?'' The nun is puzzled and thinks for a while before saying, ''That's a hard one.'' "Correct!"

Its Just Not Cricket

Well actually it is, but it was the only title I could come up with! I wasn't sure of the difference between a cricket and a grasshopper but its apparently that crickets are brown and grasshoppers are green. Crickets make their chirping sound by rubbing their forewings together, while grasshoppers make theirs by rubbing their hind legs against their wings. Also crickets are nocturnal (active at night) and grasshoppers are diurnal (active in the day.) Someone should have told that to this cricket, as he was hopping around in the middle of the day.

I'm playing around taking macro photos at the moment. Sometimes they come out really well and other times they are just a blur (more practise needed!) I just love the detail that you can capture (click on the photo to see what I mean), especially with things that you don't normally notice.

And finally, one more difference between crickets and grasshoppers. A grasshopper can play cricket, but a cricket can't play grasshopper! No, I didn't laugh either. Anyone got a better insect joke?
