Nuns Having Fun

Ships by USPS Media Mail, 6-10 days.

• Catholic kitsch doesn't get any funnier, making this the perfect gift for anyone who went to pariochial schools.

• Nuns Having Fun, the book, features hundreds of sisters in full habit, cutting loose and having a hoot - including nuns in the surf ("This is even more fun than walking on water"), nuns in bumper cars ("We brake for Jesus"), nuns in a beer hall ("Ale Marys"), and nuns in the museum, huddled in front of a study of nudes ("It's okay to open your eyes. Sister Wendy says it's art").

• There are nuns on skates, at bat, at the theater, skeet shooting (nuns with guns!), even hitting the slots (you know it's for a good cause).

• In addition to 125 images from the 1950s and '60s, all black-and-white and possessing a pure retro charm, there are also plenty of nun jokes and trivia info. We especially like tidbits such as Favorite Punishments from Nuns, Nuns Say the Darndest Things, How to Recognize a Nun After Vatican II, a Wimple Watch, and List of People Who Could Have Been Nuns.

• Paperback, 250 pages.
