So Margaret and Joe, a young couple go and visit the village priest. Margaret speaks up, "father we've been married ten years and yet I can't get pregnant. What are we to do?"
"Well," answers the priest, "I've been summoned to Rome and I'll light a candle for you at the Sistine Chapel."
So the priest leaves, and is given duties at the Vatican and returns to the village 5 years later and sees Margaret in the grocery store pushing a cart overloaded with groceries and diapers. "So Margaret", he exclaims, "How's the family?"
"Oh father, you've been gone 5 years, and we've been blessed with 3 sets of triplets, three girls and six boys."
"Wow, that's marvelous! And where's Joe?"
"Oh father, he went to Rome to find that damned candle and blow it out!"
