Sister Mary, who worked for a home health agency, was out driving, making her rounds visiting homebound patients, when she ran out of gas. She walked to the nearest gas station to borrow a gas can and buy some gas.

The attendant told her the only gas can he owned had been loaned out. Since the nun was on her 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, always resourceful, she carried the bedpan to the station, filled it with gas, and carried the full bedpan back to her car.

As she was pouring the gas into her tank, two men watched from across the road. One of them turned to the other and said, “If it starts, I'm turning Catholic!”
