0 One Tough Pressure 580 Report post Posted February 10, 2006 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 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 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?" 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." "And do you know I haven't had the flu all winter?!!" If you don't send this to five OLD friends right away there will be five fewer people smiling in the world. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Jeff Robison 14 Report post Posted February 10, 2006 Guilty as charged! Funny stuff, Alan. On a good Saturday of college football with 3 good games on at the same time my wife removed one remote control battery while I was in the bathroom. I was going nuts because it worked fine before, pushing buttons, shaking it, cursing it, looking for batteries (of course we had no AAA's at the house). This went on for about 10 minutes until she told me. This is a good practical joke when something good is on.
