A Miracle Birth

A doctor and nurse were having an affair, and the nurse got pregnant. Being a little large, and not very bright, she didn't realize she was pregnant until she was very far along. In a panic she went to the doctor and said, "What should we do?"

The doctor came up with a brilliant plan. A priest was just about to go into surgery for a stomach problem at their hospital, so he rearranged things to have him and the nurse do the operation. He delivered the baby by c-section, took care of the priest's stomach problem, quietly made arrangements for the nurse to recover at her home ... and proclaimed a miracle: the priest hadn't actually had a stomach problem ... he'd been pregnant! He just delivered a healthy baby boy!

Amazingly, everyone believed it, including the priest. He took the boy home from the hospital, and raised it as his own. As the boy grew up, the priest wouldn't tell him about his origin. Whenever the boy asked, "Who's my father?" the priest said, "I'll let you know when you are 16."

When the boy turned 16, the priest finally told him the story. He told about how he'd gone into the hospital, and the boy had been miraculously born into the world. The boy said, "Wow ... so you really are my father!"

The priest said, "Well actually, I'm your mother. The arch-bishop ... he's really your father."
