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."
