The Organist

Miss Beatrice, the church organist, was in her eighties.
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?"

(If you don't send this to five OLD friends right away
there will be five fewer people smiling in the world!)
