Miss Beatrice, the church organist,
was in her eighties and
had never been married.
She was admired for her sweetness and
kindness to all.

One afternoon the pastor came to call on
her and she showed him into her
quaint sitting room.

She invited him to have a seat while
she prepared tea.

As he sat facing her old
Hammond organ, the young
minister noticed a cut glass
bowl sitting on top of it.

The bowl was filled with water,
and in the water floated,
of all things, a condom!

When she returned with tea and
scones, they began to chat.

The pastor tried to stifle his
curiosity about the bowl of
water and its strange floater,
but soon it got the better of
him and he could no longer resist.

Miss Beatrice, he said, I wonder if you
would tell me about this? pointing to the bowl.

Oh, yes, she replied, Isn't it wonderful? I was walking through the Park a few months ago and I found this little package on the ground.

The directions said to place it on the organ,

keep it wet and that it would prevent the
spread of disease.

Do you know I haven't had the flu all winter.
