George and nuns

George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
For some reason, he couldn’t get the idea of “plug-in nuns” out of his head.
Why would he think of such a thing?
And were there nuns that ran on batteries, or nuns that you had to wind up or get started with a hand crank?
As George’s higher conscious functions obsessed on nuns, George’s subconscious and motor skills were left unimpeded, and he managed to get through the day without causing an accident, grievous injury, or some other calamity.
He never did sort out the whole nun thing.
