Better than a Flu Shot!
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 vicar
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 vicar 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, pointing to the bowl
'I wonder if you would tell me about this?'
'Oh, yes,' she replied, 'Isn't it wonderful?
I was walking through
the park a few months ago
and I found this little packet on the ground.
The directions said:
Place contents on the organ and
keep wet to help prevent the spread of disease.
Do you know I haven't had the flu all winter.
