100% CORN

Miss Debbie, the church organist, was in her eighties
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 pump organ, the young
minister noticed a
cut-glass bowl sitting on top of it. The bowl was
filled with water. 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 Debbie", 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. Do you know I
haven't had the
flu all winter!"
