Joke submitted by KenWritez:
Three nuns were talking.
The first nun said, "I was cleaning the Father's room the other day and I found pornographic magazines!"
"What did you do?" the other nuns asked.
"Well, of course I threw them all in the trash."
The second nun said, "Well, I can top that. I was in the Father's room putting away the laundry and I found a box of condoms."
"Oh my," gasped the other nuns. "What did you do?"
"I poked holes in all of them," she replied smugly.
The third nun said, "Oh shit."

I remember this joke well (it's slightly older than Mount Everest itself, not the climb to the top). Novice nuns used to whisper this to one another and share a naughty giggle. In most versions I heard, there is an entire group of nuns hearing this - they all are shocked except for one who laughs - then the punchline is all laughing and one shocked.
I suppose that the reason I did not find it funny is that it is such an old and tired joke. In fact, as a novice I did not laugh so hard as the others, because I was an older candidate - the others, aged 18 or so and unusually innocent for their age, probably were giggling, as one does in the schoolyard at age 12, at the 'knowledge' of what a condom is.
I would say this joke could be effective were it told by the right comedian - gestures and vocal inflections would be essential. It is not offensive, but it is just too trite.

It may not be new, but it is somewhat complicated. Very well written: one could see this as a skit on TV. I laughed my socks off (well, if I had been wearing any) and feel it is the second funniest joke here so far.
In real life, I'm not acquainted with any nuns under age 60, so I fancy all the players must be teenagers or university-age novices. Hardly offensive, but then I'm not a nun nor am I a priest.
