A priest and a nun were traveling across a vast desert when their camel suddenly collapsed.<\/p>\n
Despite their best efforts, the poor animal died, leaving them stranded miles from civilization.<\/p>\n
They gathered what little food and water they had, but after several days, both realized they were unlikely to survive.<\/p>\n
As the sun began to set on what they believed might be their final evening, the priest looked at the nun with a thoughtful expression.<\/p>\n
“Sister,” he said gently, “before our time runs out, may I ask you something I’ve never asked anyone?”<\/p>\n
The nun smiled kindly.<\/p>\n
“Of course, Father.”<\/p>\n
The priest hesitated.<\/p>\n
“I’ve never seen a woman’s body. Would you allow me to see yours… just this once?”<\/p>\n
The nun thought for a moment.<\/p>\n
“Well, if we’re truly at the end of our lives, I suppose there’s no harm.”<\/p>\n
She slowly removed her outer garments.<\/p>\n
The priest looked away politely at first, then finally took a respectful glance.<\/p>\n
“My,” he whispered. “God’s creation truly is remarkable.”<\/p>\n
After a few quiet moments, the nun smiled mischievously.<\/p>\n
“Father… may I ask you something as well?”<\/p>\n
“You certainly may.”<\/p>\n
“I’ve never seen a man without his clothes.”<\/p>\n
The priest nodded.<\/p>\n
“Very well.”<\/p>\n
He removed his clothing.<\/p>\n
The nun looked with curiosity.<\/p>\n
Her eyes settled on his anatomy.<\/p>\n
“What is… that?”<\/p>\n
The priest smiled awkwardly.<\/p>\n
“That, Sister, is the instrument through which God creates new life.”<\/p>\n
The nun studied it for a long moment.<\/p>\n
“So… in the right situation, this can create life?”<\/p>\n
“Yes,” the priest replied proudly.<\/p>\n
She nodded thoughtfully.<\/p>\n
Then pointed toward the desert horizon and said,<\/p>\n
“Well then, Father… you’d better stick that thing in the camel and see if we can get out of here!”<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A priest and a nun were traveling across a vast desert when their camel suddenly collapsed.
