I'll show you some vows!]]->''"Have you come to give confession? I will gladly accept your tithe...in BLOOD."''-->-- '''Double''', ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}''One would hope that most members of a NobleProfession, though human and prone to imperfection, are decent folk who make an honest effort to uphold the basic moral and ethical standards one might associate with the position.And then there's this character.She's a nun, at least that's what it says on her job resume. However, she acts nothing like what she's claiming to be. Instead, she can be violent, destructive, steal from the collection plate, wear revealing clothing, be perverted like the best of them, forget all about her chastity vows, take God's name in vain and swear so much she'd make a sailor cry, not to mention that she seems to have ideas or notions that directly contradict the Church she belongs to. In other words, she's anything but the normal image of a member of the Church you'd expect. It leads one to wonder how she managed to land this job in the first place. Like the BunnyEarsLawyer, It is possible that she's actually good at parts of her job... once you bypass all the rest of the stuff she does.[[hardline]]One of three things usually occur.# The character's coworkers decide they've had enough and kick her out. May be PlayedForDrama.# The character is punished or called out for her actions, but the response is halfhearted and the character remains. May be PlayedForLaughs.# The NunTooHoly character is revealed to have a redeeming trait that makes her immune to getting the boot.Additionally, on rare occasions, this character type will become TeamMom to a BadassCrew, [[GoodShepherd Good-Enough Shepherd]] to a group of DarkerAndEdgier variety of heros a more traditional ApronMatron [[FluffyTamer would run screaming from]].The character's reasons for being the way they are may vary:# In some cases, it seems likely the character never had any interest in performing their role adequately; they are just using the position and the church (or other organization) to further their own ends, whether that is a source of funds to embezzle from to a front for an ElaborateUndergroundBase. In this case they might be anything from the BigBad to an AntiHero leader working within the church to fight its enemies behind TheMasquerade.# In other cases the character simply finds that the air of semi - respectability her position gives her is just too convenient to give up. The character in this case is often [[MrViceGuy Mrs. ViceGal]], a traditional hard - drinking AntiHero, or an IneffectualSympatheticVillain.# Most often, the character is a sympathetic HeroWithAnFInGood who is sincere about responding to TheCall but can't seem to bring themselves to control their excesses. # Alternately, they may be a fusion of BadassPreacher and LadyOfWar [[note]]The [[AlphaBitch arrogant and manipulative]] variant[[/note]], forming a [[OneManArmy one-woman]] ChurchMilitant. This type can range from [[KnightInSourArmor knight in sour habit]] to a living incarnation of GoodIsNotNice. This variation often [[NoPlaceForMeThere openly acknowledges]] their own hypocrisy, but consider their own vices trivial compared the evil they oppose. Fairly common in UrbanFantasy and [[PunkPunk punk generas]].# Another possibility is that she's simply one small (or not so small) example of what happens when the whole Church becomes [[CorruptChurch rotten to the core]].# Occasionally in historical fiction, the character will have been forced into the role by family, the Church, or society and will have no real aptitude or calling. # This trope is often subverted; the character turns out never to have been a nun, but is an imposter or simply doesn't correct others' confusion.When punished for their vagrancies or faced with a MoralEventHorizon that pushes them beyond even their own limits of acceptable behavior, this character can variously JumpOffTheSlipperySlope and become TheUnfettered answering to no one but themselves, [[ThenLetMeBeEvil turn against their order]], or even [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone suddenly realize how far they have fallen]] and [[TheAtoner seek redemption and reform]]Much less TruthInTelevision than it used to be. Convents in the Middle Ages were used as dumping grounds for unruly noblewomen, who made equally unruly nuns and possibly the TropeMaker for NaughtyNuns.This trope can apply to any member of a religious order- any character whose nominal role is that of a holy person, moral leader, etc. can be NunTooHoly, though as the name suggests, this is most commonly used to describe a female character. For specifically male characters of this sort, see DirtyOldMonk. Sometimes overlaps with NunsAreFunny, NunsAreMikos, NunsAreSpooky, NaughtyNuns, SexyPriest, or TheVicar. If the character is sincere but mistreats those they are supposed to cater to, they may be a JerkassWoobie. For characters who take their role as a moral leader ''too'' seriously rather than not seriously enough, see KnightTemplar or WellIntentionedExtremist. Compare also the SinisterMinister and ChurchgoingVillain. Don't confuse with BadHabits, which is about villains ''dressing'' like nuns or priests even though they're not.Take into consideration the actual setting when adding examples- if everyone is dressed like NaughtyNuns in the Church, then simply wearing a sexy nun outfit isn't enough to be NunTooHoly, nor is innocent mock-flirtation with no intent to act upon the attraction. This trope is about a character that flagrantly and unapologetically violates doctrine, appropriate behavior for their position, common courtesy, or all of the above, on a regular basis.----!!Examples:[[foldercontrol]][[folder: Anime and Manga ]]* Asia from ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD'' is a subversion. She's a nun who was turned into a demon, but she's still as sweet and kind as she was while as a human.* The whole local church in ''Manga/BlackLagoon'', they're actually drug and arms dealers. The nun, Eda, might be the most prominent example on the show. [[spoiler:As revealed in later arcs, she's a CIA agent posing as a nun]].* Sort of invoked with one half of the Iscariot Organization team in ''{{Hellsing}}'' - a nun with a violent, sword-wielding split personality. Technically her partner Heinkel probably should be a nun as well, but instead she [[{{Crossdresser}} Crossdresses]] as a priest.* Father Alexander Anderson from the same is played with a bit more; while he's also a member of the Iscariot Organization (and a male, so a priest rather than a nun), he reserves his bayonets [[{{Hammerspace}} pulled from nowhere]] for ''vampires'' only, along with his SlasherSmile and ScaryShinyGlasses. In his off-hours he runs an orphanage where he is [[FriendToAllChildren truly beloved]], and gets into a [[{{Understatement}} slight disagreement]] when his superior decides to cut down innocent people along with vampires; he might not LIKE Protestant England, but he's not a mass murderer.* Miroku in ''Manga/{{Inuyasha}}'' is an itinerant Buddhist monk who is very good at fighting {{youkai}}, but ''terrible'' at being a Buddhist, between his incessant skirt-chasing and his habit of conning his way into money and comfortable lodgings whenever possible. This is reasonably historically accurate, given that many monks of the time were incessantly criticized by laymen, both commoners and authorities alike, for doing exactly these things. It was said that there were no worse Buddhists in medieval Japan than among the clergy. Miroku himself manages to stay among the more benevolent examples of the trope and proves to be capable of deep spirituality when the situation is serious... but he's still a terrible Buddhist.* Sister Angela from ''OnePoundGospel''. A mild example, since her only serious indiscretion is her relationship with Kosaku.* Esther Blanchett from ''TrinityBlood'': not only is it suggested she is in love with both Father Nightroad and Count Ion, at a couple points in the story she's also on the run for murder charges. ** Esther isn't the only nun indicated to be in love with Father Nightroad; Sister No�lle Bor openly admits it to him. Abel gently rejects her, but seems to find nothing inappropriate about the idea. Given that the current Pope is openly acknowledged to be the son of the previous Pope, it seems that in the distant future of ''Trinity Blood'', the Catholic Church has dropped the requirement of celibacy.** The manga also has Sister Monica Argento, who despite being a nun crossdresses as a priest, and who greatly enjoys killing. And she's one of the good guys! (More or less.)* What Miyu, Alyssa, and Nao become at the end of ''Anime/MaiHime''. Nao in particular used to pose as a child prostitute and rob her clients with the help of her Child.** Yukariko herself is also one, as despite her innocence and lack of knowledge about men, she gets visibly drunk during the Karaoke party, and also gets into a relationship with Ishigami, [[spoiler:becoming pregnant in the process (although this may have been due to rape)]]. At least in her case she has apparently stopped being a nun at the end of the series, though she still works at the church.* Zange in ''{{Kannagi}}'', daughter of a priest, dresses as a nun, but with a miniskirt.* The trope description fits Rosette Christopher from ''ChronoCrusade'' to a T. She constantly swears, physically takes her frustration out on her assistant Chrono (who's a demon, by the way) when things go wrong, enjoys gambling, revels in wearing expensive clothing, in one scene gets rip-roaring drunk and then ''forces a twelve-year-old to drink - during Prohibition'', DrivesLikeCrazy, and... happens to be one of the best exorcists in the Magdalene Order, when she manages not to destroy anything. The Order puts up with her behavior because not only is she very good and very dedicated to what she does, she has an extremely good reason for being there--saving her younger brother from a powerful demon.** Note that Rosette does not have a religious vocation, never claimed to have a religious vocation, only joined up for the training and resources she needed in order to save her brother, and left the Magdalene Order shortly after doing so.* [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Sister]] from ''ArakawaUnderTheBridge'', a large-framed, crossdressing man who holds Mass at gunpoint and claims to be a LivingLieDetector, making Confessions more like Interrogations. But when you get used to his more frightening habits it's clear Sister genuinely cares for his community, acting as a source of advice and as a protector for the cast. [[RealMenWearPink He also takes care of orphans and feeds the community home-baked with cookies.]] ** Sister is also pretty much definitely not an ''actual'' holy-person of any religion too - as he seems to think God is [[Franchise/MetalGear Big Boss]] and his "Bible" is filled with a variety of misquotes from everything to Christian to Buddhist texts.* Sister Sein in ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha''. Getting trained as a nun for a few years under the strict supervision of Sister Schach had done nothing to reduce her mischievous personality. For example, her first appearance on ''[=ViVid=]'' involved surprise SkinshipGrope and secretly touching everyone's no-no places while they were relaxing in the hot springs.--> '''Teana''': Sexual harassment is a criminal offense, you know.** It is, however, indicated that, immature tendencies aside, she's a caring individual who's good at her job. In Sound Stage X, she notices when an elderly pilgrim is about to collapse and carries her the rest of the way, and she is often seen caring for the comatose [[spoiler:Ixpellia]].* Nicholas D. Wolfwood of ''Manga/{{Trigun}}'' is a male example. He claims to be a travelling Christian priest, yet he drinks, smokes, sells confessional sessions for money, kills both for profit and for expediency, and is [[spoiler: the member of a ChurchMilitant in the manga and functionally a ''Knives'' priest-in-training in the anime]]. In the anime, he even admits he's never actually been inside a church before when he [[spoiler: stumbles into one to make his last confessions and die]].* Genjyo Sanzo of ''Manga/{{Saiyuki}}''. A Buddhist priest known for his heavy smoking, easy irritability and general disinterest in giving sermons whenever possible. Also notorious among Youkai for being a killer marksman.* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'' takes this in stride.** Index is no wallflower, may be a glutton, but she doesn't swear and has decent manners when she isn't biting Touma's head. [[spoiler:She also apparently [[GoingCommando didn't have any underwear]] prior to meeting Touma. And a number of times afterwards.]]** The Roman Catholic's ranks seem to subside on nuns with weapons and criminally short skirts (especially Agnese, and ''especially'' her Stripperiffic RestrainingBolt during her second appearance). They're also dangerously zealous and pay no heed to the cardinal rule ''thou shall not kill'', even though it's eventually shown [[spoiler:that their initial schemes to convert Academy City seem to try and TakeAThirdOption to killing.]]** The ''Amakusa'' are unique in that they seem to be a variant of ''Kirisuto-kyō''. The whole sect tends to be portrayed more as noble {{ninja}} than a religious denomination, though the portrayal [[JustifiedTrope has its reasons]]. They also have their own Saint. Who frequently kicks ass and almost always dresses in Stripperiffic street clothes herself. She also gets away with fighting [[spoiler:one of the highest Angels, in part because of her powers as a Saint, but also uses the justification that Japanese tradition holds that you can [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu successfully fight ''kami'']].]]* Double subverted in ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler'' with Sister Freesia. At first, it seems that she lives up to this, being stingy, greedy, and showing hints of a {{Yandere}} nature. Subverted when it's revealed that the character first introduced as Sister Freesia, Sonia, is an impostor. Double subverted when it's revealed that the real Sister Freesia doesn't act mature at all and obsesses over boy bands. Played straight by the priest, a noted lech and obsessed with role-playing games.* Played straight with Kazumi Ryudo from HauntedJunction, who is something of a LoveableSexManiac. He's also a Buddhist monk trained by his grandfather, and said grandpa is a DirtyOldMan.** Also with Mutsuki Asahina, a Shinto {{Miko}} who is rather... ''interested'' [[{{Shotacon}} in younger boys.]]* The Soldat nuns in ''{{Anime/Noir}}'' serve as EliteMooks for the organization, which already has a fairly impressive army of assassins at its back, and put up a [[VillainousValour surprisingly valiant fight]] against the title duo, with one even coming at the pair with a ''broadsword''.* Misora Kasuga from MahouSenseiNegima also counts as this. Despite working as a ChurchMilitant for Mahora, she prefers using her SprintShoes to escape rather than for assistance. And that's not even counting her mischievous deeds, including posing as a priest inside a confessional.* Seira Mimori from ''Manga/KaitouSaintTail'' has stolen (once), lied (repeatly), violated confessional secrets (on average once every chapter), and is in cahoot with the titular thief, ''and is fully aware she's not supposed to do any of it''. Her saving grace are that said thief is JustLikeRobinHood and only steals already stolen things to give them back to the legitimate owners (and both justify their actions with [[IDidWhatIHadToDo having to do it for justice]]: none of them actually likes stealing), and once Saint Tail retires she stops doing most of that (the DistantEpilogue implies she ''still'' violates the confessional secret to send former SympatheticInspectorAntagonist to unmask thieves and scammers).[[/folder]][[folder: Comic Books ]]* Played with in the European comic book series ''ComicBook/{{Soda}}''. One book has a (male) [[GirlsWithGuns small-time criminal who dresses up as a nun for disguise]]. Of course, Soda himself is a rare male example (and subversion), since [[spoiler:he dresses up as a priest to fool his old mother into thinking he is one and not a [[HandCannon gun-toting cop]]]].* [[UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks Bad Girl]] icon [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Warrior_Nun_Areala_characters "Shotgun" Mary Delacroix]] from ComicBook/WarriorNunAreala: Give her 20 "Hail Marys" or she'll chop your head off.* The ''Comicbook/GhostRider'' arc "Heaven's On Fire" introduced a legion of Gun Nuns. Yes, that's the actual name of their order. Previously we'd also seen a deadly order of martial artist nuns. That said, they aren't actually ''bad'', they just go to necessary extremes. The Gun Nuns protect the portal to Hell, after all.* Soeur Marie-Th�r�se des Batignolles[[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_bJcTDtFjx_I/TOuw6NE-hII/AAAAAAAAAdc/cX-7V3-3yrI/s1600/Soeur-Marie-Therese-des-Batignolles-Maester.jpg]]: drinks, fights [[http://pixhost.info/media/images/Batignolles102.png]], swears, smokes dope, hates kids, reads pr0n magazines, punches fouls and completely disrespects her hierarchy. But then, she is also good friend with the pope.* The Solicitines in ''ComicBook/CastleWaiting'' are an unusually serious and sympathetic example. They're genuinely religious and caring of other people, but they have absolutely no problem with helping women permanently escape from abusive husbands (to the point of implied murder if necessary), are happy for members to flirt with men and even leave if they meet a guy who seems worth it, and make most of their money from distributing massively alcoholic desserts.* The Italian comic book ''Suore Ninja'' (literally "Ninja Nuns") has as protagonists three [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin ninja nuns]] who are implied to regularly compete for the higher body count whenever they're sicked at some threat to the Holy Church.[[/folder]][[folder: Fan Fiction ]]* Nao in the MaiHime fanfic The Sword of the Lord. She swears quite often (in and out of her narration), likes to drink and occasionally has contact with men. Yukariko is still a nun despite being married, which Nao suspects is only allowed because she got an exemption in exchange for keeping quiet about Joseph's infiltration, forced a bishop to submit or used St. Vlas' [[MasterOfIllusion powers]] to convince people it was allowd. It's suggested that the order as a whole loosely follows the rules, being more focused on dealing with supernatural threats.* In Creator/AAPessimal's take on the ''{{Discworld}}'', the Chaplain to the Thieves' Guild School is a cheerful motherly nun, beloved by her pupils, kind, loving and suporting. Who was on the run for embezzling large amounts of money from her Order, which she maintains was "resting" in her bank account. Her motto for reverend contemplation is ''The Gods help those who help themselves''. This is believed to be based on a real case where a cheerful Irish nun, headmistress of a convent school, bankrupted the school by persistent and well-concealed theft estimated at a million pounds over ten years. [[/folder]][[folder: Film ]]* The title character of [[Creator/LuisBunuel Luis Bu�uel]]'s ''Viridiana'' is a novitiate-nun who tries to be Mother Theresa, but is secretly Prideful of her Good Works. She's really more misinformed and naive than 'bad', but she screws it up magnificently nevertheless.* Sister Maria from ''TheSoundOfMusic'': 'She's always late for everything except for every meal'. Another mild example, she has strong moral character, is hard working, compassionate, and a talented music teacher, but it's obvious to the other nuns that becoming a nun was a poor career choice for Maria.** Worth mentioning, although it was done in the name of heroism: In the movie only, when the Von Trapp family is on the run from the Nazis in the Abbey, a group of sisters come to the Reverend Mother and cross themselves, intoning "Bless us mother, for we have sinned." Then from under their habits they pull the car parts they stole from the soldier's cars.** The real Maria averted this as she was the classic stereotype of the stern, sour-faced, ruler wielding nun. It was the father, Georg von Trapp, who was carefree, letting his children get away with murder, until Maria disciplined them. Though she also said that the part about her being ill-suited for the Abbey was accurate. When asked if she was that troublesome in real life, she replied, "I was ''worse!''"* Delores from ''Film/SisterAct''. Justified in that she's really a lounge singer and witness in a high profile court case who was sent to the convent by the authorities to protect her. Subverted in that if it weren't for her party girl side, she'd have made a very good nun.* Sara in ''Film/{{Two Mules for Sister Sara}}''.** Subverted in that Sister Sara [[spoiler: is a prostitute merely posing as a nun to avoid being killed.]]* ''SpyHard'' has gun-toting nuns.* In ''Nun of That'', the Order of the Black Habit are nun assassins. The lead character, Sister Wrath, was chosen for the order specifically because she beat up [[spoiler: a nun who was trying to have sex with her]] and [[spoiler: a priest who was having sex in the confessional]] on separate occasions.* Mother Superior in ''Film/SilentNightDeadlyNight'' is, for all intents and purposes, a nun. She's even as holy as a nun (and even behaves like one) for the most part. However, she's rather abusive towards Billy, and she even does something that can only be described as torturing him in his sleep at one point. She does not (or, more accurately, refuses to) understand what that one night on the road did to him. This does not help Billy's mental state one bit, and even contributes to his becoming the most infamous Slasher Santa the screen has ever seen. Of course, she truly believes she's doing the right thing for the whole film, so she's more of a WellIntentionedExtremist than anything.* A male example with Rev. Henley in ''Film/HellsHinges'' (1916). He only became a pastor because his mom wanted him to. When he goes to the Wild West town of Hell's Hinges, he's seduced into drinking and debauchery, and winds up joining the mob of toughs to burn down ''his own church''.[[/folder]][[folder: Jokes ]]* Here's one: A couple of nuns go into the city to buy some groceries for their convent. But they aren't very experienced drivers and soon they get lost and run out of gas in a bad part of town. A local gang sees their expensive car, and the leader comes over and leans on the hood and sticks a gun in Sister Mary's face. She says "Sister Agatha, what should I do?," and Sister Agatha says "Show him your cross," and Sister Mary says, "Get off my fucking car!"* A man is walking through downtown when a prostitute tells him "For thirty bucks, I'll give you a blowjob." The man had never heard of blowjobs before, so he wandered through town trying to think of what it could be. Finally, he saw a nun and decided to ask her. "Sister, what is a blowjob?" he asked. "Thirty bucks, same as downtown," she replied.[[/folder]][[folder: Literature ]]* Creator/ChristopherMoore's ''Fool'': A woman supposedly so dedicated to asceticism she is locked up in solitary in a convent turns out to have an extremely inventive mind when it comes to sex with one of the altar boys, despite the fact that her only access to the outside world is a small cross-shaped window...** Theconvent appears to be having sex, at least with each other, and has a definite interest in male anatomy. But they still have something to lose and so care about maintaining appearances.* The [[ChurchMilitant Sister of Battle]] trainer in ''[[Literature/CiaphasCain Cain's Last Stand]]'' is a loyal and pious soldier of His Divine Majesty's church - and also drinks and plays cards with the navy, infantry, and Commissariat trainers in her down time ([[spoiler: and is having an affair with the head administrator - Amberley mentions in a footnote that not all Sororitas orders impose a vow of celibacy]]).* Mother Mary Bellarmine in Jane Haddam's ''Murder Superior'' fits this trope.* Father Lavingy in Agatha Christie's ''Murder in Mesopotamia'''s behavior isn't quite right for a priest; most of the party being Protestants, they don't catch it, but the Catholic Poirot does. Turns out he's a thief masquerading as a priest.* In ''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers'', Milady once was a nun. She obviously didn't take it seriously.* Tyene Sand of ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' is in training to be a septa, and puts on a show of being sweet and pious -- being [[HairOfGold blonde]], [[InnocentBlueEyes blue-eyed]] and [[BeautyEqualsGoodness beautiful]] doesn't hurt. However, she's also a MasterPoisoner and just as bloodthirsty and deadly as any of her BadassFamily.* A mild example, in ''Literature/TheLongEarth'', Joshua has noted that the nuns who run the orphanage aren't much like nuns on TV. The main one we see is Sister Agnes, a BadassBiker who plays JimSteinman too loudly for the other nuns' liking. There's also Sister Serendipity, who has joined holy orders until the FBI stop looking for her. (Sister Agnes says it was all a misunderstanding, and it's not like she ''succeeded'' in shooting the senator.)* Kitsune Sura of ''Literature/SpiritHunters'' drinks a lot, makes dirty jokes, gambles, eats tons of meat, and streaks in public; surprising many who hear that she's a priestess. Her standard response is that she's a Taoist, not a Buddhist like most of them are used to. Though in real life one of the two major schools of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daoshi Daoshi]] has similar requirements as Buddhist monks, the other doesn't.* In ''Literature/SammyKeyes and the Sisters of Mercy'', Sammy's church is visited by some very free-spirited nuns (the titular Sisters of Mercy) who are very kind and devoted but also enjoy playing jaunty music on the organ during Mass and dancing in outfits made of purple feathers. Sammy considers them unusual but loves having them around. [[spoiler:It then turns out that they use their act as a way to stick around churches long enough to steal anything of value, which makes it possible that they were only posing as nuns.]][[/folder]][[folder: Live Action TV ]]* Desmond on ''{{Lost}}'' became a monk after receiving a sign from God, but was kicked out for drinking the wine made at the monastery and it being clear that it wasn't where he belonged.* ''PushingDaisies'' had a plot in the second season where Olive became a nun to avoid the stress from all the secrets people entrusted her with. Olive herself wasn't that great of a nun (trying desperately to take back her stuff from the poor when it was donated), and at least one other nun like this was featured in an episode.* In one episode of ''Series/{{Leverage}}'', Parker dresses as a nun. The audience knew that she wasn't, but it was still an amusing scene. Especially when she pulls up her skirt to reach lockpicks attached to her leg and uses a fake bible to take an imprint of a key and make a plastic duplicate. (Earlier she was mistaken for an angel while stealing a statue)** Also Sister Lupe in "The Boys Night Out Job", who Nate's friend Jack met and had feelings for. Nate kept stressing [[RunningGag "She's not a nun"]]. [[spoiler: She pulled a gun on him when thinking he had a hand in stopping Jack of delivering cancer drugs, and he, Elliot, and Hardison work together to take down two drug lords after them.]]* Sybil on {{Series/Camelot}} is manipulative, cunning, and delves into pagan magic more than once, up to and including "sacrificing" girls studying at her Convent (whether they died as a result is left unclear) to keep spiritual forces at bay.* ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' had "[[AttilaTheHun Attila the Nun]]", who took a vow of eternal brutality.* In one episode of ''Robin Hood'', an 'Abbess' turns up at Nottingham Castle. Her bearing and behavior are not ''quite'' right--it turns out she was a thief planning to steal the tax money being stored in the chapel.* ''Series/AmericanHorrorStoryAsylum'' has Sister Jude and Sister Mary Eunice, who are both deconstructed.** Sister Jude is vindictive, cruel to several of the patients at [[BedlamHouse Briarcliff]], and is clearly infatuated with [[SexyPriest Monsignor Howard]], and gets the heroine Lana committed to keep her from exposing the inhumane treatments of the asylum. When Jude goes through a ''massive'' BreakTheHaughty routine as well as some light shed on her own past, she is revealed to have some HiddenDepths.** Sister Mary Eunice starts off as [[TheCutie a genuinely sweet girl]] who is way in over her head and only wants to get Sister Jude's approval. When she's [[spoiler: [[DemonicPossession possessed by the Devil himself]], she plays this straight, though it's revealed she's been FightingFromTheInside, and once she's able to regain control of herself for a brief moment, she begs Monsignor Howard to kill her and stop the Devil]].* Prince Edmund in ''The BlackAdder'' episode "The Archbishop", when he becomes Archbishop despite not believing in God, because King Richard wants him to ''discourage'' the pentient from leaving their money to the church. There's also several gags about NaughtyNuns.-->'''Edmund''': Selling the sexual favours of nuns? You mean some people actually ''pay''?-->'''Baldrick''': You know, foreign businessmen, other nuns...* The candid-camera style show ''Just For Laugh Gags'' got a lot of comedy mileage out of pranks involving [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8qQVyLIYdI nuns being naughty]]. * In ''Series/JackTaylor'', there was a nun who worked at St. Monica's Magdalene laundry in 1960s Galway who took extreme pleasure in terrorising her charges, referred to only as "[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Lucifer]]" in a diary account. At one point, the diary author's best friend is leaving the institution to get married, and then Lucifer stops by [[{{Sarcasm}} to wish her well]] when she spots a pack of cigarettes in the friend's luggage. Lucifer tells them how lucky they weren't caught a week ago, or they would have been punished severely for possession of tobacco, only to light one up in front of the two and then offer a cigarette to the lucky bride-to-be.* Subverted in {{Series/Midsomer Murders}} - while there is an episode that centered on a convent of nuns, they took their religious vows very seriously. It's just that political infighting (which is impressive since there's only four of them), [[ImpoverishedPatrician lack of funds for maintaining the building]], stolen antiquities and [[spoiler: the Prioress blackmailing a war criminal who later kills two people]] makes everyone outside the Priory very suspicious of them.[[/folder]][[folder: Manhua]]* {{Manhua/Bloodline}} has the Shengdi nuns, who are elite combat warriors of the ChurchMilitant organization. Some are mild while other can be more KnightTemplar, not caring who is in the way of their missions.[[/folder]][[folder: Music ]]* The JakeThackray song ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1P4DAQM6F0 Sister Josephine]]'' is about a criminal on the run and disguised as a nun. His co-nuns are quite oblivious to the fact; HilarityEnsues.[[/folder]][[folder: Tabletop Games ]]* The TabletopRPG ''Macho Women With Guns'' supplement ''Renegade Nuns on Wheels''.* The whole point of a short lived reality show about priests in training... and their girlfriends.* In WarhammerFantasy battles Nagash used his posistion as head of church when he tried to conquer the world his first time.* ''{{Exalted}}'' features Sulamore, one of the signature characters of the Infernal Exalted, who wears clothing approaching a nun's vestments, but a) she acts as a servitor of the will of [[TheLegionsOfHell the Yozis]] upon creation, and b) [[{{Stripperiffic}} there's a reason that clothing is "approaching" a nun's vestments]].** It is also saying something that Sulumor is one of the more conservatively dressed female characters in Exalted canon. Compare the Lady of Darkness in Bloodstained Robes, who is a high priestess of the Neverborn, the dead cousins of the Yozis, who wears... Well, the jury is still out on whether what she has constitutes wearing something.*** [[CompletelyMissingThePoint She's definitely got a skirt on.]]* The bulk troops of the Oracle Think Tank company in Anime/CardfightVanguard are all nuns with theme names related to chocolate called "battle sisters". They all carry excessive amounts of weaponry, be it knives, miniguns or otherwise. This is somewhat able to get a pass because they do not serve a church but instead serve a BigGood corporation run by a Japanese goddess.[[/folder]][[folder: Video Games ]]* In ''VideoGame/LaPucelle'', Prier is rude, very violent (inside and outside her demon hunting job), steals on occasion from the Church, doesn't take prayer that seriously, and sometimes outright decides to go against their own Holy Scriptures. Everyone calls her out on that.** Keep in mind Prier apparently really did become a Demon Overlord in the ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'' games.** Ironically enough, in ''VideoGame/LaPucelle'', the goddess Poitreene SAYS she shouldn't be worshiped, she's just as "aspect" of Light in general.* ''VideoGame/{{Skullgirls}}'' has Double, the demon who's true appearance is a morphing creature of BodyHorror. Played with in that she [[spoiler: is an agent of the Trinity]]* The H-Game series ''Kango Shicyauzo'' features one nun who 'sometimes falls asleep when she is in bed with a boyfriend', a second who apparently fell in love with a priest and joined the sisterhood in order to stalk him, and a third who is the biological mother of one of her students...* In the iPhone app and Xbox Indie game ''VideoGame/TwinBlades'', we might excuse the heavy weapons she carts around as necessary for killing zombies. The revealing red dress and white stockings, though...* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'' gives us [[ActionGirl Lel]][[BiTheWay iana]] who used to be a nun before she joined your party. While she qualifies for this trope based on how unlike the nuns of her setting she is, there are ''several'' subversions here. The big one is she disagree's with Chantry dogma and believes the creator is a loving god instead of an [[NeglectfulPrecursors indifferent one]].* Referencing the brothel mentioned in the Real Life section below, Sister Teodora in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedII'' runs a bordello staffed by (former) nuns. She says she takes care of both the body and the soul.** And of course, Pope Alexander VI (again, see Real Life) shows up in the game - [[spoiler:as BigBad Rodrigo Borgia]].* [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/555205 Mother Judgement]] from NewGrounds. The main screen sums it up as [[NunsNRosaries "Nun]] [[GirlsWithGuns with guns"]].* Mutatsu in ''{{Persona 3}}'' is a cigar-smoking, hard-drinking, very bitter Buddhist monk. He's the game's [[TarotMotifs Tower]] Social Link, and the protagonist meets him hanging out at a local club.* There are two nuns in the ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart'' series. Elsa la Conti mostly averts this trope, despite being armed with a large cross and several other weapons (which could be excused as she works for an organization trained to deal with spiritual anomalies). On the other hand, her partner, Clarice di Lanza, is a full-blooded ''demon'' who acts rather immoral at times (though she usually means well), as well as having a major lesbian crush on Elsa.* in ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'', we have Danica Pure-Spring, the high priestess of [[NatureSpirit Kynareth]] in Whiterun. She consoles Ahlam about the {{Jerkass}} proclivities of Ahlam's husband... not in being faithful to him, but agreeing with Ahlam's assessment that he's a jerkass and maybe that if the [[CivilWar Stormcloaks]] attack the city then maybe he'll be killed.* ''VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}'', the hypersexualized, sadistic titular protagonist enjoys doing the whole nun thing, and judging from the fact her job is doing graveyard burials and last rites disguised as a one, it's entirely possible that it's her cover story/a way to piss off enough angels to meet her quota. [[/folder]][[folder: Webcomics]]* In ''Webcomic/{{Sonichu}}'', Angelica Rosechu may have been raised in a convent, but that doesn't stop her from masturbating (in churches, no less!).* Mary in ''Webcomic/JosephAndYusra'' swears, fights, and is a professional sniper.[[/folder]][[folder: Western Animation]]* Sister Butch from ''WesternAnimation/JohnCallahansQuads'', oh where do we begin? Somewhat of a subversion since she ''is'' unhealthily devoted to the church, but at the same time she's a violent, aggressive beast with a VoiceOfTheLegion when she gets angry and a somewhat pleasant working relationship with Satan.[[/folder]][[folder: Real Life ]]* As stated above, often TruthInTelevision during periods when the fate of TheUnfavorite or a younger son was often being forced into a career in the church.** On the other hand, it was also a convenient way to lead a more or less comfy life and avoid being sent to fight and die in the military.* [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Alexander_VI Pope Alexander VI]]. Among his more notable accomplishments, preventing a major war and fathering [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucrezia_Borgia Lucrezia Borgia]].** It wasn't terribly unheard-of for Renaissance Popes to lavish attention on "nieces" and "nephews" whose mothers didn't appear to have a close blood tie to the Pope and whose fathers were nowhere to be found, and this is actually the origin of the term {{Nepotism}}. Alexander VI was just the first to openly acknowledge his daughter and three sons.* There was a brothel in medieval England that catered to customers with a NaughtyNuns fetish. None of the employees were actually nuns, but they wore the full costume.** A [[GetTheeToANunnery nunnery]] indeed...* The "Nuns Having Fun" calendars are fairly mild cases, but the appeal comes largely from this trope. They ride roller coasters, dance around, go paddling in their habits, and smoke cigarettes, and it's all pretty giggle-worthy because ''they're nuns''.* A certain good-sized priest had a story about how he got the chance to attend a ceremony at the Vatican that was being led by the Pope. As soon as the Pope appeared, he claims that, in their zeal to reach the pontificate, a couple of little old Italian nuns knocked him out of the way as if they were pro linebackers.* A British WorldWarII PublicServiceAnnouncement film warned the public to be on the look out for [[AllGermansAreNazis Nazi]] paratroopers disguised as nuns. People were warned to look out for nuns with hairy forearms, adam's apples, and tattoos spelling out [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler H.I.T.L.E.R]].* Averted with St Margret of Hungary, but played somewhat straight with the other nuns who don't like her too much for taking her role as a nun too seriously. According to the medieval hagiographies at least. One thing that is often overlooked or played down, is the fact she basically threw her father, ''the King'', out of the monastery when he wanted to call her back for an arranged marriage, making her probably one of the most independent women remembered from her time. Not exactly what nuns are known for.* Benedetta Carlini was a nun who used her position within the church to have sex with and even marry another nun.* One of [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julie_d%27Aubigny Julie d'Aubigny]]'s more famous exploits involved a convent where the parents of her [[BiTheWay latest female lover]] had sent the girl after learning of their affair. To get inside Julie posed as a postulant, put the body of a recently deceased nun in a bed and set the room on fire to cover their escape.[[/folder]] ----

The precious time won from the Jap in the victory of the Coral Sea was running out. Soon he would strike again, and this time he might plow through to New Caledonia or to Australia's sparsely held coasts.
In the U.S., wishful thinking after the battle had set spirits soaring, sent many a U.S. citizen flying to the double-wrong conclusion that the war was being won in the south Pacific as well as in Europe. Australians knew better. The Jap had been thwarted before but he always came back for more, because he always had more reserves close by than the...

Christmas Eve
Evening Sun
`All or Nothing' is gritty but joyous
By Michael Sragow and Michael Sragow,SUN MOVIE CRITIC
December 13, 2002
Mike Leigh's All or Nothing is an exhilarating movie about sadness and renewal, set in a London housing project. It's an unlikely follow-up to Leigh's brilliant Gilbert and Sullivan extravaganza, Topsy Turvy. But in its own way All or Nothing is piercingly musical, too, from the first shot of a girl pushing a mop through the hall of an old-age home while an elderly woman advances toward her slowly, with a cane, resisting help. In lesser hands the material would be dreary. Mike Leigh, both a superb filmmaker and a humanist, grasps the rhythmic beauty of the scene and turns it into a poem on the duty of the young character and the determination of the older one. Leigh has a way of depicting force of habit that accentuates the positive even when what's happening is negative.
Jaguar Wright's 'Neo' is honest blues
By Rashod D. Ollison
August 4, 2005
AS THE GREASY bass line dropped, the smoked-out backbeat kicked in and the guitars started twanging and moaning, I knew I'd be all right. Then Jaguar Wright's earthy alto fell in, ripping into "The What Ifs," the first cut off her 2002 debut, Denials, Delusions and Decisions. I knew I'd be safe. See, I got all the right questions / And you've got all the wrong answers / And I got all of the sadness / And you end up with all the laughter ... She took me home. I hadn't heard realness like that in a while -- a rainbow voice ornate with the blues.
Saying goodbye Expressions of sympathy from around the world for Diana, 'once our princess, now our angel'
September 7, 1997
They wanted to say goodbye to someone they felt they knew.Thousands of people left messages and a field of flowers at Kensington Palace, Princess Diana's London home; stood in line for hours to sign a book of condolences at St. James's Palace, where her body lay before the funeral; performed the equivalent task by signing a guest book on the Internet; or wrote a few brief words at British embassies and consulates around the world.One wreath of white flowers outside the consulate in New York stood 7 feet high.
Charles Kuralt's other life Scandal: The late CBS newsman had a wife in New York and, secretly, a longtime companion in Montana. The two have now met, in court.
By Paige Williams and Paige Williams,KNIGHT RIDDER/TRIBUNE
June 1, 1998
This article is based on Montana and North Carolina court records, hearing transcripts, interviews, newspaper archives, and Charles Kuralt's books "A Life on the Road," "On the Road With Charles Kuralt" and "Charles Kuralt's America."On his sickbed in New York in the summer of 1997, Charles Kuralt thought of Montana, a place he had loved for a great many years for its natural wonders, far away from his life in the city.Down by a riverside, he built a log cabin. It reminded him of his native North Carolina, but most of all it gave him a place to disappear.
'O' so sad
September 8, 2011
O, say can you see relief (pitchers) in the future of professional baseball in Maryland? The losing team's fan's simultaneous lament and cry of hope that there's always next season has grown a little more poignant as the years have gone by. The Baltimore Orioles have been in a slump that will soon be measurable in decades rather than years. The bright star of Cal Ripken Jr. and his exemplary work ethic kept fans interested locally even as the Orioles organization closed up shop before the start of the postseason year after year.
A sad day for America
May 1, 2011
Thursday, April 27, was an extremely sad day for the United States of America. That a sitting president should feel the need to release his birth certificate in order to quell nasty rumors about his eligibility to hold office was shocking, but then to hear even that did not wholly satisfy the doubters, some of whom are now questioning his college records, is almost unbelievable. I cannot help but think this is a result of prejudice. Because he is biracial? Has an unusual name? I had been hopeful that we Americans had progressed beyond that.
Grieving family, burning sadness
By Peter Hermann and Peter Hermann,Sun Staff Writer
July 14, 1994
They had gathered at a West Baltimore rowhouse wearing black tuxedos and fancy dresses, preparing to mourn a 79-year-old family leader who died Sunday and was to be buried this morning.Instead, they pulled up to the Edgewood Street house to find firefighters digging through debris, pulling out a stack of charred Bibles that were part of a family collection, and ambulances whisking the deceased man's widow and daughter to the hospital.The wife, Georgia Hamlin, 77, and daughter, Joyce Black, 59, were dressing for the funeral when an air conditioner on the second floor overheated and ignited, fire officials said.
Amid Caribbean celebration, sadness
By Robert Hilson Jr. and Robert Hilson Jr.,Sun Staff Writer
September 11, 1994
If only for a few hours, the turmoil of a country hundreds of miles away did not dominate Walter Rolton. Amid the strains of reggae and calypso music at the 13th annual Caribbean Festival, he almost forgot the unrest in Haiti.But concern for his homeland and the strife among his fellow Haitians is never far from his mind."Yes, I do think of there much, very much," Mr. Rolton said yesterday as he sat against a tree at Druid Hill Park and watched thousands of festival-goers. "Sometimes you think about it too -- much and you do nothing else.
Sadly, no words needed
By Knight-Ridder
January 18, 1991
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- When three Navy officers in dress uniform knocked on the door of Michael Scott Speicher's Jacksonville home at 4:30 yesterday afternoon, his wife, Joanne, knew why they were there -- to tell her that her husband had been shot down in the Persian Gulf."
Sad state of State
By William Safire
June 4, 1993
BILL Clinton has made two major forays into foreign affairs so far. His first was a winner: The embrace of Boris Yeltsin at the Vancouver summit probably helped democratic reformers increase the size of their victory in the Russian referendum.His second was a loser: He announced his intention to coerce the Bosnian Serbs to the peace table with air power, then dispatched his secretary of state to Europe to bring the allies along; instead, Warren Christopher brought back the first public humiliation of an American president since World War II.What caused this loss of leadership?

How to Use the iPad to Sign a Contract!
Thanks for all the positive feedback! I will post a few more of these how-to's over the next few weeks.
If you have something you'd like me to cover, please comment below and I'll do my best to accommodate!
Re-Blogged 2 times:
Hi Alice-- I get my contracts from the board's website. Then I can email them directly to my box.net account (like Dropbox). From there PDF Expert will sync with box.net, Dropbox, Google Docs, or a couple of other places for you to import your contracts.
Best practice would be to have some blank contracts stored out there for emergencies. Often I will prepare an offer contract for my buyers and keep it out there so more of it is already filled in come offer time.
Thanks for the comments! Hope this helps!

Dr. Doug Thompson's Ratings
Dr. Thompson's kindness, compassion, expert knowledge, professionalism, and attentiveness to the whole body health of his patients would be very hard to beat. He took me on in an emergency situation, retained me as his patient, and has treated with me since. There needs to be a rating that allows for 5+ and the rating should be for the doctor only. He is the one that the practice relies on. I'm sad to see him retire. The profession will be that much less effective without him.

Dr. Thompson is wonderful, my old family doctor would not do pre natal care when i got pregrant, than he said he would not care for my baby, he does not do baby care. So Dr. Thompson is a wonderful man he took me and my son in a new patients. thank you Dr. Thompson

Nice value I purchased two of these watches, one for myself and one as a gift. The first one came out of the box and went onto my wrist as soon as I took a couple of links out of the band. I have had a long history with "self winders" and wound the watch up as per instructions. I set it to my "atomic" wall clock and went to dinner with my wife. Just before coming home I looked at the time and then compared it to my cell phone. The watch had gained almost 5 minutes in less than two hours. I reset it and kept an eye on it. It continuously gained 5 minutes in two hours. I boxed it up with a check for *****and sent it to the Invicta Service Center. I am still waiting for it to come back. I then opened up the "gift watch" took a couple of links out of the band, wound it and set it as above. It has been with me for almost a month and is running less than 3 seconds fast. I don't expect quartz accuracy out of a self winder and it. I am not happy with the first one but have absolutely no complaints with the second one. I like the weight and feel of the watch. It reminds me of my old Rolex Sea Dweller which never kept good time and flooded twice while I was working as a commercial diver back in the mid 70's. It cost me *** just to have it rebuilt each time by a certified Rolex technician and that was in 1975! (The watch was **** new back then.) I still dive recreationally and if this one floods it is a ***buck fix in 2014 dollars. I own several Invicta dive watches and the one I sent for warranty repair is the first one to have a problem. I would rate the one I am wearing as excellent.

Site description Mlaâbi reservoir is a small, man-made water-body behind a dam built across a modest watercourse, for irrigation of local agriculture, near the northern tip of Cap Bon, just north of the town of Menzel Temime. Water-levels vary as water is extracted, so there is little permanent vegetation; small areas of Typha angustifolia, Tamarix and Juncus species are found. It is one of several similar reservoirs at the tip of Cap Bon which form important stop-over points for migrating birds, not only waterbirds, since the drainage of Garaet el Haouaria.
Key Biodiversity See Box for key species. It is suspected that Oxyura leucocephala (12–80 pairs) and Marmaronetta angustirostris breed. Other species that occur during passage and winter include Podiceps cristatus, Anas platyrhynchos, A. clypeata, A. acuta, Aythya ferina, A. nyroca, Fulica atra, Himantopus himantopus, Glareola pratincola, Charadrius dubius, C. alexandrinus, Calidris minuta, Tringa totanus, T. nebularia, T. glareola and T. hypoleucos.
