The path of the righteous man...

It was time for Father John's Saturday night bath, and young nun, 
Sister Magdalene had prepared the bath water and towels just the 
way the old nun had instructed. Sister Magdalene was also 
instructed not to look at Fr. John's nakedness if she could help it, do
whatever he told her to do, and pray.

The next morning the old nun asked Sister Magdalene how the 
Saturday nightbath had gone.

"Oh, sister," said the young nun dreamily. "I've been saved."

"Saved? And how did that fine thing come about?" asked the old nun.

"Well, when Fr. John was soaking in the tub, he asked me to wash 
him, and while I was washing him he guided my hand down between 
his legs where he said the Lord keeps the Key to Heaven."

"Did he now?" said the old nun evenly.

Sister Magdalene continued, "And Fr. John said that if the Key to 
Heaven fit my lock, the portals of Heaven would be opened to me 
and I would be assured of salvation and eternal peace. And then 
Father John guided his Key to Heaven into my lock."

"Is that a fact?" said the old nun even more evenly.

"At first it hurt terribly, but Fr. John said the pathway to salvation was
often painful and that the glory of God would soon swell my heart with
ecstasy. And it did, it felt so good being saved."

"That wicked old Devil!" said the old nun. "He told me it was Gabriel's
Horn, and I've been blowing it for 40 years!"
