Three Italian nuns pass away peacefully and arrive at the Pearly Gates, glowing with excitement and curiosity. St. Peter greets them warmly, smiling as he reviews their lives in his massive golden book. After a long pause, he looks up and says, “Ladies, you have lived such faithful, selfless lives that I am granting you a very special gift. Each of you may return to Earth for six months and be anyone you wish, doing anything you desire.”

The nuns exchange stunned glances.

The first nun steps forward immediately, barely able to contain her excitement. “I want-a to be Taylor Swift,” she says.
POOF! In a burst of light, she’s gone.

The second nun laughs, clearly inspired by the possibilities. She straightens her robe and says proudly, “I want-a to be Madonna.”
POOF! She vanishes just as quickly.

The third nun steps up slowly. She looks thoughtful, almost nervous, adjusting her veil before speaking.
“I want-a to be Alberto Pipalini.”

St. Peter blinks. Once. Twice.
“Who?” he asks.

The nun nods confidently. “Alberto Pipalini.”

St. Peter frowns, flips through his book, scans page after page, then shakes his head. “I’m sorry, my child. I don’t see anyone by that name.”

The nun leans in closer and whispers patiently, “Alberto Pipalini… you know… Alberto Pipalini.”

Suddenly, St. Peter’s face turns pale. His eyes widen in horror. He slams the book shut and groans, rubbing his temples.

“Oh no… please tell me you don’t mean ALBERTO PIPALINI — the Italian plumber who fixed the convent boiler for 20 years?!”

The nun smiles sweetly, folds her hands, and replies,
“Yes. That Alberto Pipalini.”

St. Peter sighs deeply, looks up toward Heaven, and mutters,
“Lord… I really should’ve read the fine print on this deal.”
