SISTER MARY
Sister Mary, who worked for a home-health agency, was
out making her rounds visiting homebound patients when
she ran out of petrol. As luck would have it, a petrol station
was just a block away. She walked to the station to
borrow a petrol can and buy some petrol.
The attendant told her the only petrol can he owned had
been loaned out but she could wait until it was returned.
Since the nun was on the way to see a patient, she
decided not to wait and walked back to her car.
She looked for something in her car that she could fill
with petrol and spotted the bedpan she was taking to the
patient. Always resourceful she carried the bedpan to
the station, filled it with petrol, and carried the full bedpan
back to her car.
As she was pouring the petrol into her tank two men
watched from across the street. One of them turned
to the other and said, "If it starts, I'm turning Catholic.''
