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 cute 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 GOOD friends right away there will be five fewer
people smiling in the world.
