Miss Beatrice, the church organist, was in her eighties and had never
been married. She was admired for 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 pump organ, the young minister noticed a
cut-glass bowl sitting on top of it. The bowl was filled with water.
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!"
The pastor fainted dead away.
