The Hospital Bill #13

THE HOSPITAL BILL
A poor Jewish man lived alone in a small apartment in a
large apartment buildibng in a Catholic part of town, He was friendly to all, but just barely had enough to get by.


One day he got very ill...Some neighbors across the hall
became worried and they took him to the local Catholic hopital.
The staff and the sisters at the hospital took great care of him and he recovered rather quickly.
. As he was released, Mr Rabinowitz was given an envelope which
contained the hospital bill.
Mr Rabinowitz said, " I live alone, and have no money, and I cannot afford this $20,000 bill."
The sister says go upstairs to the sixth floor and talk to the Mother Superior...

He goes up stairs and says, "I live alone and got
nothing, there is no way I can pay this bill."

The Mother Superior says,
"Well do you have any relatives?", ....He says, " I have a sister
who converted to be a Catholic and she has nothing, she is nun
lives in a convent, and she lives in poverty." "I am saddened by her
actions," He concludes...............................................................

The Mother Superior became indignant, and says, "Your
sister is a wonderful woman has given much to all, and she is married to Jesus"...

Mr. Rabinowitz thinks a moment and
says," Well, ...Send the bill to my brother- in- law."
