MIRACLE
A
woman started dating a doctor. Before too long, she became pregnant, but
they did not want the child. About nine months later, just about the time she
was going to give birth, a priest came into the hospital for a
prostate gland infection. The doctor said to the woman:
"I
know what we'll do. After I've operated on the priest, I'll give
the baby to him and tell him it was a miracle."
"Do
you think it will work?" - she asked.
"It's
worth a try," - he said.
So,
the doctor delivered the baby and then operated on the priest. After the
operation, he went in to the priest and said:
"Father,
you're not going to believe this."
"What?"
- asked the priest. "What happened?"
"You
gave birth to a child!"
"But
that's impossible!" - said the priest.
"I
just did the operation," - insisted the doctor, - "it's a
miracle! Here's your baby!"
About
fifteen years went by and the priest realized he must tell his son the
truth.
One
day he sat the boy down and said:
"Son, I
have something to tell you. I'm not your father."
The
boy said:
"What
do you mean, you're not my father?"
The
priest replied:
"I am your mother. The archbishop is
your father."
