Subject: HRW - Two Nuns

Two nuns who worked in a hospital were out driving in the
country when they ran out of gas. As they were standing
beside their car on the shoulder of the road, a truck
approached them.

Noticing the nuns in distress, the trucker stopped and
offered to help. When the nuns explained they had run out
of gas, the trucker said he would be more than happy to
drain some from his tank, but he didn't have a bucket or a
can.

Hearing this, one of the nuns dug out a clean bedpan from
the trunk and asked the trucker if it would do. He said it
would and proceeded to drain a couple of quarts into the
pan. He then handed the pan to the sisters, got back into
his truck and waved goodbye.

While the nuns were carefully pouring the precious fuel
into their gas tank, a cop happened by. He stopped and
watched them for a few moments, then said, "Sisters,
somehow I don't think that's going to work, but I sure do
admire your faith!"
