A Catholic priest announces at church one day, "I will be in Rome next week. If any of you have a wish, I will light a candle in Rome so that the wish will come true."
A woman announces, "My husband and I have been married for several years, but have never borne any children. Can you light a candle so that we can have children?"
"I will do that," says the priest.
Five years later, the woman says to the priest, "Since you went to Rome and lit that candle, I have given birth to two pairs of twins and a set of triplets, and now I am pregnant with quadruplets!" She then gives the priest a plane ticket to Rome.
"You are too kind," says the priest. "You don't need to thank me."
"I'm not thanking you," says the woman. "I just want you to blow out that candle."
