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 good-bye 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!"
