Sister Mary Ann, who
worked for a home health agency, was out making her rounds visiting homebound
patients when she ran out of gas. As luck would have it, a Texaco gasoline
station was just a block away.
She walked to the station to borrow a gas can and buy some
gas. The attendant told her that the only gas can
he owned had been loaned out, but she could wait until it was returned.
Since Sister Mary Ann 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
gas and spotted the bedpan she was taking to the
patient. Always resourceful, Sister Mary Ann carried the bedpan to the station,
filled it with gasoline, and carried the full bedpan
back to her car.
As she was pouring the gas into her tank, two Baptists watched from across the street.
One of them turned to the other and said, 'If it
starts, I'm turning Catholic.'
