• Sister Mary Benedict : Tell me, have you any textbooks on the manly art of self-defense?

  Sporting Goods Salesman : [confused]  I beg your pardon?

  Sister Michael : [laughing]  Oh, she means pugilistics.

  Sister Mary Benedict : I mean boxing.

  Sporting Goods Salesman : [pointing to and moving to the other side of the store]  Boxing? Yes, yes, of course. They're right over here.

  Sporting Goods Salesman : [pulling out a book from the drawer]  Well, here's a book endorsed by James J. Corbett. He won ten straight fights. Nobody could lay a glove on him till Fitzsimmons knocked him out.
