A priest and a nun are returning to their church after a long journey
when their car breaks down. They are unable to get repairs completed and
it appears that they will have to spend the night in a hotel.
However, the only hotel nearby has got just one room available. So the
priest says to the nun, "Sister, I don't think the Lord would mind,
under the circumstances, if we spent the night together in this one room.
I'll sleep on the sofa and you have the bed." The nun says that that is
all right with her and so they prepare for bed and take their agreed
positions in the room.
After about ten minutes the nun says to the priest, "Father, I'm terribly
cold."
The priest replies, "Don't worry Sister, I'll get up and get you a
blanket from the cupboard." This he does and then returns to the sofa.
A further ten minutes pass and the nun says to the priest, "Father, I'm
still terribly cold."
The priest replies, "Don't worry Sister, I'll get you another blanket
from the cupboard." He gets up, gets the nun a blanket and returns to
the sofa.
A further ten minutes pass until the nun says to the priest, "Father, I'm
still terribly cold. I don't think the Lord would mind if we acted as
man and wife just for this one night."
The priest replies, "You're probably right. Get up and get your own damn
blanket."
