There were three Sisters of St Bernadette driving in outback Australia and they ran out of petrol - devastating.
Sister Angelina said "There's a house over there on the hill, perhaps the farmer could lend us some petrol to get us into town".
So the three hopeful Sisters walked across to the homestead and enquired to the Missus of the homestead if she "could lend us some petrol to get us into town".
The Missus explained that they received their fuel in bulk and she would be pleased to give them a tankfull of petrol if they got the car over to the bulk tank.
No one had a Jerry can or empty drum to put some petrol in so the could get the car over to the homestead to fill it up.
The Missus said in an embarrassed manner I have a "Jerry Pot" (Gazzunder) that could carry a litre or so.
So the Nuns carried a litre of petrol across to their car and started to put it in the tank.
It was at this time the Boss ****y was returning home on his tractor for lunch.
He stopped and watched to Nuns pour the petrol from the Jerry pot into their vehicle, then he got down from his tractor and said...............
"Sisters I'm not a religious man, But I admire your faith".

Hey, that was great, I can just imagine the situation with the three nuns all standing around the filler cap, holding the pot on an angle so it won't spill a drop & the farmer looking on, I would have loved to see the look on his face when the car fired up & they drove off. That would have been a sight to see.
