Speedy Sisters

Here's a humorous story from the Telegraph about three elderly nuns who were were pulled over and ticketed by local police for pushing 110mph on the highway. Apparently, they were concerned about the pope's health in the wake of his slip and were rushing to see him.

Now, anyone who has been to Rome and waited in line at Saint Peter's or elsewhere learns quickly that sometimes, the seemingly meek, unassuming nuns are often the most aggressive and pushy church-goers in the city. I'm not too surprised by this anecdote. Simply put, you don't want to be in these sisters' way if they are determined to get from Point A to Point B.
