Death Records Now

One Friday, there were 3 nuns riding on a mountain road. They were coming around a turn when a semi rammed into them head on killing them instantly. They were coming to the gates of heaven and noticed a sign that said “Closed for Remodeling”. One nun knocked on the gates and out came St. Peter. He said, “What are you doing here! No one is supposed to be here! We are closed for the weekend for remodeling!”

The one nun said, “Well, we’re dead and we can’t go back.” “Alright,” said St. Peter. “What we are going to do is send you back for the weekend as whoever you wish to be and then we’ll accept you back into Heaven,” exclaimed St. Peter as he looks at the first nun.

“Okay, who do you want to be?” he asks the nun. “Well, I thought her life was very interesting especially since she gave her life to God, so I want to be Joan of Arc.” Poof!

The first nun becomes Joan of Arc. “Okay, You’re next,” as her looks at the second nun, “Who do you want to be?” “! ! Well, I thought her life was very interesting and she died a tragic death, so I want to become Marilyn Monroe,” pronounces the second nun. Poof!

The second nun becomes Marilyn Monroe. “Okay, who do you want to be?” St. Peter says to the third nun. “I want to be Alice Kapipelean.” “Excuse me?!?” confusingly asks St. Peter. “I want to be Alice Kapipelean!” exclaims the nun. St. Peter replies, “Pardon me Sister, we have no record of any Alice Kapipelean being on earth,” explains St. Peter.

“There is TOO an Alice Kapipelean and I have proof right HERE!!!” shouts the nun. St. Peter takes the news article and reads it. “Oh my, Sister. You have misread this article. This article says that the Alaska Pipeline was laid by 500 men in six months.”

thats funny thanks for the laugh

Does anyone know of any other female labor organizers or activists besides "Mother" Mary Harris Jones? It’s been a while since I’ve studied women’s history and I know there were others but I can’t remember their names.

"Mother Mary Harris Jones, for anyone who doesn’t know, was so well-known that the Progressive Miners of America erected a monument to ‘Mother" to honor her gutsy decades of work. The monument is 22 feet tall and is built of 80 tons of pink Minnesota granite. When it was dedicated in 1936 an estimated 50,000 people attended. Genre Autry even recorded a song titled, "The Death of Mother Jones." Best known quote from Jones: "I’m not a humanitarian. I’m a hell-raiser!"

Sarah Bagley—yes, that is one lady I was trying to recall. Thanks!

Professor: That is so cool about the portrait.

Kessie: Thanks for the link.

I admire these two women labor organizers (other than Mother Jones, of course): Karen Silkwood and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn.

Karen Silkwood: Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers’ Union activist who died while assisting union investigating plant safety at the Kerr-McGee plutonium fuels production plant in Crescent, OK. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/reaction/interact/silkwood.html

Elizabeth Gurley Flynn: In 1907 Flynn became a full-time organizer for the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Over the next few years she organised campaigns among garment workers in Pennsylvania, silk weavers in New Jersey, restaurant workers in New York, miners in Minnesota and textile workers in Massachusetts. During this period the writer, Theodore Dreiser, described her as "an East Side Joan of Arc.". Flynn was arrested ten times during this period but was never convicted of any criminal activity.

A founding member of the American Civil Liberties Union, Flynn was active in the campaign against the conviction of Sacco-Vanzetti. Flynn was particularly concerned with women’s rights. She supported birth control and women’s suffrage. Flynn also criticised the leadership of trade unions for being male dominated and not reflecting the needs of women. http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAflynn.htm
