I wondered if you'd ask.  We are/portray occasionally C10th Benedictine nuns. 
 Mostly we are very serious and sensible and lead processions singing in 
Latin, but just now and then we get fed-up with nun jokes from our Viking friends 
and decide to make an example of one of them.  Once we surrrounded one and 
force-baptised him with several gallons of water.  Another time I shot him with 
what appeared to be a borrowed longbow (yep - the same one - he is a glutton 
for punishment).  Mostly they run ... very fast!

Oh and there was also the German SS officer at a multi-period show who pulled 
the "Are you a paratrooper in disguise - I'll check for hairy legs" gag once 
too often.  His own society took a long time to forget his fate.  A year later 
they asked me if I was the nun who "decked him".  Not true - I only pushed 
him away.

We like being nuns.  And they're never quite sure when either....

Aly (aka Sister Mildred)
