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."
