A Friday Joke

I'm still feeling rather lousy, so instead of any brilliant blog post today, I'll just share with you this (PG13-rated) joke that an author friend forwarded to me. I'm supposed to forward it to 5 other people, but you know what? I'm pretty sure at least 5 will stop by and visit my blog today, so here you go...

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
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 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?'

He pointed 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.'
