Friday Funny: ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ™๐ŸปA Nun in hospital๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜„

Fiona from Henderson

A man suffered a heart attack while shopping in a store.
The store manager called for an ambulance when they saw him collapse to the floor.
The paramedics rushed the man to the nearest hospital, where he had emergency open-heart bypass surgery.

He awakened from the surgery to find himself in the care of nuns at the Catholic Hospital.

A nun was seated next to his bed holding a clipboard, a pen, and a collection of forms. She asked him how he was going to pay for his treatment.

She asked, "Do you have health insurance?"
He replied in a weak raspy voice, "No health insurance."

The nun asked, "Do you have money in the bank?"
He replied, "No money in the bank."

The irritated nun continued, โ€œDo you have a relative who could help you with the payments?"
He replied, "I have only a spinster sister and she is a nun."

The nun became agitated and announced, "Nuns are not spinsters! Nuns are married to God!"
The patient replied, โ€œPerfect. Send the bill to my brother-in-law.โ€

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, thereโ€™s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need ๐Ÿช™๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿช™

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship โ€” like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
