Picking up a nun

Sometimes I think life is more bizarre than fictionalised lives. My assistant manager wanted the afternoon off. "Oh yes what for?" I asked.
"I've got to pick someone up from Luton airport."
"You've got a friend coming?"
"No I've got to pick up a nun."
Now how manay managers get that as an excuse for the afternoon off. I had to agree as it was so original (and bizarre).
