flu prevention for winter

>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. Do you know I haven't had the flu all
>winter?"
