Three Italian nuns arrive at the pearly gates and are warmly welcomed by St. Peter. He smiles and says: “Since you’ve devoted your lives to God, you may return to Earth and live as anyone you choose.”

The first nun thinks for a moment and says: “I’d like to be Mother Teresa.”

St. Peter nods: “No problem.”

The second nun says: “I’d love to be Princess Diana.”

St. Peter replies: “Absolutely.”

Then the third nun chimes in: “I want to be Sarah Pippilini.”

St. Peter blinks. “I’m sorry, sister… who?”

She proudly holds up a newspaper and points to a headline.

St. Peter reads it - and bursts out laughing! “Oh no, sister,” he chuckles. “You misread that. It doesn’t say Sarah Pippilini - it says ‘Sahara Pipeline laid by 500 men in 7 days’!”
