The old Hammond Organ
Miss Beatrice, the church organist, was in her eighties and had never been married. She was admired for her sweetness and kindness to all. Because of her age, she had long ago moved to a senior citizens home, along with a very old but well maintained Hammond Organ. One afternoon the visiting nurse came to call on her and she ushered the nurse into her quaint little room. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared tea... As she sat facing the old Hammond organ, the young nurse 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 nurse tried to stifle her curiosity about the bowl of water and its strange floater, but soon it got the better of her and she could no longer resist. 'Miss Beatrice', she 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."
