12- New Life

A nun and a priest were traveling across the desert and realized
halfway across that the camel they were using for transportation
was about to die.

They set up a make-shift camp, hoping someone would come to
their rescue, but to no avail. Soon the camel died.

After several days in the desert heat, they realized that they
were not going to be rescued. They prayed a lot (of course), and
they discussed their predicament in great depth. Finally the
priest said to the nun,

"You know, Sister, I am about to die, and there's always been
one thing I've wanted here on earth -- to see a woman naked.
Would you mind taking off your clothes so I can look at you?"

The nun thought about his request for several seconds and then
agreed to take off her clothes. As she was doing so, she
remarked,

"Well, Father, now that I think about it, I've never seen a man
naked, either. Would you mind taking off your clothes, too?"

With little hesitation, the priest also stripped. Suddenly the
nun exclaimed,

"Father! What is that little thing hanging between your legs?"

The priest patiently answered,

"That, my child, is a gift from God. If I put it in you, it
creates a new life."

"Really!," replied the nun, "Well forget about me. Stick it in
the camel!"
