Mother Superior's advice.
email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai.
In a convent in Ireland, the 98-year-old Mother
Superior lay dying. The nuns gathered around her bed trying to make her last
journey comfortable. They tried giving her warm milk to drink but she refused
it.
One of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen. Then, remembering a bottle of Irish Whiskey that had been received as a gift the previous Christmas, she opened it and poured a generous amount into the warm milk.
Back at Mother Superior's bed, they held the glass to her lips. The frail nun drank a little, then a little more and before they knew it, she had finished the whole glass down to the last drop.
As her eyes brightened, the nuns thought it would be a good opportunity to have one last talk with their spiritual leader
"Mother," the nuns asked earnestly. "Please give us some of your wisdom before you leave us.
She raised herself up in bed on one elbow, looked at them and said,
"DON'T SELL THAT COW."

'Excuse me, are you the PM?' Indian woman asks Cameron
London: "Excuse me, are you the Prime Minister?", a stunned 27-year-old Indian woman inquired from David Cameron, who chose to travel in a tube train during rush hour.
Sanyogita Mayer who has featured in eight Bollywood films, told Cameron that politicians in her native India would never travel by public transport, the Daily Mail reported.
The Prime Minister, traveling on the London Underground to an appointment because it was quicker than going by car, tried to make a good impression with commuters by complimenting a young mother on her baby.
But the conversation stalled somewhat when the baffled woman had to ask her husband who the strange man was inquiring about their child.
Mayer was traveling with her husband Yanko, 31, and their three-month-old daughter Sayama when Mr Cameron approached them.
Mayer, who recently moved to Westminster from India, said: "We were on our way to go shopping. This man got on at Westminster and came past me and said: "Is it your baby?" "I said 'yes', and he said: "Your baby is really beautiful."
I thanked him for saying that and he moved away but stood near me. I asked my husband: "Who is this man complimenting my baby?" "When he told me it was the Prime Minister I told him to stop joking with me.
"But my husband insisted so I went up to Mr Cameron and I said: "Excuse me, are you the Prime Minister?"
He said "yes" and I started laughing. Then I apologized for having to ask him the question."
"He told me he had a very busy schedule and it was quicker for him to travel by train than go by road," she added.
Cameron, who was accompanied by a bodyguard as he traveled on the Jubilee line, responded by striking up a conversation about her home country.
He told her that he had used the train in Delhi, visited Mumbai and once received a signed cricket ball from Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar.
Mayer, who said she felt compelled to take a photo of the meeting, added: "I was so surprised that a man like him would travel on the Tube and I was very struck by how down-to-earth he seemed."

The Help The Needy Volunteer Organisation noted that it had never received a donation from the
city's most successful lawyer.So one of them pays the lawyer a visit. 'Our research shows that your annual income is
over two million dollars but haven’t given anything to charity. Maybe you would care to contribute something to your community through the Help The Needy?'
The lawyer takes a deep breath and says,'First,did your research also show you that my mother is dying after a long, painful illness
and she has huge medical bills that are far beyond her ability to
pay?'
The volunteer mumbles, 'Uh... no, I didn't know that.'
'Secondly,' says the lawyer,' did it show that my brother, a disabled
veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair and is unable to
support his wife and six children?"
The H.T.N. rep begins to stammer an apology…….
'Thirdly,did your research also show you that my sister's husband
died in a dreadful car accident, leaving her penniless with a mortgage
and three children, one of whom is disabled and another that has
learning disabilities requiring an array of private tutors?'
Completely shaken, the volunteer apologises, 'I'm so sorry.
I had no idea!'And the lawyer says,'So, if I didn't give any money to them, what
makes you think I'd give any to you?
