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."
