granny and the organ

[nuhsenutten]

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."
