Father Pat and Father Mike were riding down the highway with Father
Pat at the wheel. Father Pat had the pedal to the metal when suddenly
a rabbit jumped up onto the highway right in front of the car.
Though he did everything he could to miss the little bunny, including
throwing the car into a spinning locked brakes slide (and almost
tipping the car over with this maneuver), it was to no avail; the
bunny bought the big one. Both priests jumped out of the car, ran back
to the rabbit to see if there was anything that could be done, but
alas, it appeared that the rabbit was gone. Never wanting to give up
so long as there was a ghost of a chance, Father Pat pulled a bottle
out of his pocket and, making the sign of the cross, sprinkled a few
drops of liquid on the still body of the rabbit. Instantly it jumped
up and started waving its little front paws like crazy.
Father Mike looked at Father Pat and said, "It is a miracle!" The
rabbit stood there and continued to wave at them. Since it appeared
that nothing else was needed, the two priests returned to the car and
Father Pat continued down the road. Father Mike kept looking out the
back window and for as long as he could see the rabbit, it was still
standing there, waving at them.
When the rabbit was out of sight, Father Mike sat back and considered
the sequence of events. Finally his curiousity got the best of him and
he said, "Father Pat, just exactly what was in that bottle?"
In response, Father Pat pulled the bottle out of his pocket once more
and handed it to Father Mike, who read the label: "Hair Restorer with
Permanent Wave!"
