Miss Granny was in her eighties, and much admired for her   
sweetness and kindness to all. The pastor came to call on her   
one afternoon, early in the spring, and she welcomed him into   
her parlor. He took a seat while she prepared some tea. As he   
sat facing her old pump organ, the minister noticed a cut glass   
bowl sitting on top of it, filled with water. Floating in the   
water, of all things, was a condom. Imagine his shock! Surely   
Miss Granny had flipped! But he felt he 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   
the floating item, but soon it got to him, he could resist no   
longer.   

"Miss Granny, I wonder if you could tell me about this?" he said   
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."
