The Church Organist

This was taken from my friend.

Miss Beatrice the church organist, was in her eighties and had never been married. She was admired for her sweetness gentleness and kindness. One afternoon, the minister came to call on her and she showed him into her quaint sitting room. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared a cup of 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 oil, and in the oil floated, of all things,  a condom!!! 

When she returned with the tea and scones, they began to chat - the minister tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of oil and its strange floater, but very 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, ensure it's well lubricated, and that it would prevent the spread of disease. Do you know I haven't had the flu all winter'
