A couple desperate to have a baby went to their priest and asked him to pray for them.
"Next week I am going to Rome and while I am there I will light a candle for you," he replied.
Three years later the priest returned to his parish and went to the young couple's house to visit. He found the wife to be pregnant and busy attending to two sets of twins. The priest felt very elated and asked the girl where her husband was so that he could congratulate him.
"He has gone away for a while," came the harried reply.
"Where has he gone?" asked the priest.
She replied," To Rome, to blow the darn candle out!"
