Wisdon from Mother Superior

98 year-old Mother Superior from Ireland was dying.

The nuns gathered around her bed trying to make her last journey
comfortable.They tried giving her some warm milk to drink but she refused it
One of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen and remembering a
bottle of Irish whiskey received as a gift the previous Christmas, she
opened it and poured a generous amount into the warm milk. Back at Mother
Superior's bed, she held the glass to her lips. Mother drank a little, then
a little more and before they knew it, she drank the whole glass down to the
last drop. "Mother," the nuns asked with earnest, "please give us some
wisdom before you die." She raised herself up in bed and said, "Don't sell
that cow."
