The church organist

[MachoManRodriguez]

Miss Bea, the church organist, was in her eighties and
had never been married. She was much 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 pump organ, the young
minister noticed a cut glass bowl sitting on top of
it, filled with water. 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 Bea," 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 Darlinghurst 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 it would prevent the spread of disease. And
you know.. I haven't had a cold all winter."
