The current picture has too many extraneous elements to the trope. Between the nun habit and the eyepatch, you can't even tell it is an old woman and not a man in drag.

Finding a similar picture to start things up isn't too hard: [1][2][3]

Moved back to IP for discussion. I agree that the current is bad...can't look at the suggestions right now.

3 > 1 > 2.

Just to offer something from a work, here's Sylvester Stallone's mom from the otherwise abysmal Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.

Hm, I think Image 1.3 is the most illustrative of the images here.

Experience has taught me to investigate anything that glows.

I'm torn between 1.3 and both options from 6.

That's enough consensus for 6.1, so it's up and tagged. Caption?

There's the line, "Go ahead! Make your bed," from the film, but it doesn't quite fit the setting of the picture.

No consensus on a caption; locking up.
