Viola, the church organist, was 85 and had never been married. She was
very much admired for her sweetness and kindness to all. The Pastor came to call
on her one afternoon early in the spring. She welcomed him into her Victorian
parlor. She invited him to have a seat while she prepared a little hot tea.
 

As the Pastor 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. Imagine his shock and surprise. Imagine his curiosity!
Surely, Miss Viola had flipped or something! When she returned with tea and
cookies, they began to chat. The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl
of water and its strange floater Soon he couldn't contain himself any longer
and said: "Miss Viola, I wonder if you would tell me about this?" (Pointing to
the bowl). "Oh Yes," she replied, "Isn't it wonderful? I was walking
downtown last fall and I found this little package on the ground. The directions
said to put it on the organ, keep it wet, and it would prevent disease ... and you
know .. I haven't had a cold all winter."
