A couple of nuns who were nursing sisters had gone out to the
country to minister to an outpatient. On the way back they
were a few miles from home when they ran out of gas. They
were standing beside their car on the shoulder when a truck
approached.
Seeing ladies of the cloth in distress, the driver stopped to offer
his help. The nuns explained they needed some gas. The driver
of the truck said he would gladly drain some from his tank but
he didn't have a bucket or can.
One of the nuns dug out a clean bedpan and asked the driver if
he could use it. He said yes and proceeded to drain a couple of
quarts of gas into the pan. He waved goodbye to the nuns and
left.The nuns were carefully pouring the precious fluid into their
gas tank when the highway patrol came by.
The trooper stopped and watched for a minute, then he said:
"Sisters, I don't think it will work, but you sure have faith!"
