The Funniest People in Religion and Families contains such anecdotes as the following: One day Pope John XXIII went to a nursing home that was run by nuns so he could visit a dying prelate. The nun who answered the door was understandably astonished to see the Pope, and she almost fainted. However, the Pope told her, "No need to be alarmed, Sister. After all, I'm only the Pope." Oscar Strauss was Jewish and rich -- and happy to be both. Long ago, while vacationing in Lakewood, New Jersey, he saw a house that rented rooms. In front of the house was this sign: "No dogs or Jews allowed." A few minutes after he saw the sign, he bought the house and ordered the sign torn down. Anne Sexton once wrote a volume of poetry titled "Love Poems." One poem was intended to be titled "Twenty-One Days Without You" because her career required her to spend that amount of time away from her husband. However, the title had to be changed to "Eighteen Days Without You" after her husband said to her, "I can't stand it any longer; you haven't been with me for days."
