Three Italian nuns die and go to heaven, where they are met
at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter. He says "Sisters, you all
led such wonderful lives, that I'm granting you six months
to go back to earth and be anyone you want to be."
The first nun says, "I want to be Sophia Loren;" and "Poof" she's gone.
The second says, "I want to be Madonna;" and "Poof" she's gone.
The third says, "I want to be Sara Pipalini."
St. Peter looks perplexed. "Who?" he says.
"Sara Pipalini," replies the nun.
St. Peter shakes his head and says; "I'm sorry, but that name just
doesn't ring a bell."
The nun then takes a newspaper out of her habit and hands it to St.
Peter. He reads the paper and starts laughing. He hands it back to
her and says...."No sister, the paper says it was the 'Sahara Pipeline'
that was laid by 1,400 men in 6 months!"

I heard the same one but the name used was Alice Kapipalini. (Alaska Pipeline)
