TODAY'S REASON TO SMILE
From the mailbox:
SISTER MARGARET MARY AND THE CAR
A young nun named Sr. Margaret Mary, who works for a local home
> HEALTH AGENCY WAS OUT MAKING HER ROUNDS WHEN SHE RAN OUT OF GAS. AS
health agency was out making her rounds when she ran out of gas. As luck would have it, a gas station was just a block away. She walked to the station to borrow a can to start with and drive to the station for a fill up.
The attendant regretfully told her the only gas can he owned had been loaned out, but if she would wait--it was sure to be back shortly.
Since the nun was on the way to see a patient, she decided not to wait, and walked back to her car. After looking through the car for something to fill with gas; she spotted a bedpan she was taking to the patient.
Always resourceful she carried it to the station, filled it with gasoline, and carried it back to her car. As she was pouring the gas into the tank, two men were watching from across the street.
One turned to the other and said, "If it starts, I'll become a Catholic."
------------
Now that you've had your chuckle, there is a moral to the story...If Sr. Margaret Mary had been a trendy nun, she would have been wearing street clothes instead of a habit, in which case the two men watching would have failed to hear the call.
