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 didnt 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 I sure do admire your faith!"
