 Bea was in her eighties, and much admired for her sweetness and kindness
 by all. The pastor came to call on her one afternoon
 early in the spring, and she welcomed him into her Victorian parlor.
 
 She invited him to have a seat while she prepared a little tea. As he 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 Mis Bea had
 flipped or something! But he certainly couldn't 
 mention the strange sight in her parlor. 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, but soon it got the
 better of him, and he could resist no longer.
 
 "Miss Bea," 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 downtown last
 fall and I found this little package. 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!
