It's an unseasonably cold day in Dallas. Two priests who are visiting town
for a convention are walking and since they did not bring overcoats, they
decide to buy a couple.
They go into Nieman-Marcus and ask the clerk for two black overcoats. The
clerk explains that it's the off season for overcoats, but he'll take a
look. All he can find are two navy blue coats of the proper size.
He tells his manager and the manager says, "Hell, sell them the blue coats.
On a day like this, they won't be able to tell the difference." The clerk does.
The priests are walking again and looking at their new coats. The coats
just don't seem to look right. They pass two nuns and one of the priests
asks a nun to hold up the sleeve of her black habit so he can compare the
color. She does.
As the nuns are walking away, one of them says to the other, "Isn't it nice
to hear a priest speak Latin in this modern age. I wish I knew what he said."
The other nun asked her what it sounded like.
The first nun replies, "It sounded like he said, 'Nieman Marcus fuctus'."
