Flu shot

Lena, the church organist at Coon Ridge Lutheran Church, was in her 80's and had never been married. She was much admired for her sweetness & kindness to all. The Pastor came to call on Lena, one afternoon early in the spring, & 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 & surprise. Imagine his curiosity!! Surely Miss Lena had flipped or something...!! When she returned with tea & cookies, they began to chat. The Pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl of water & its strange floater, but soon it got the better of him, & he could resist no longer. "Miss Lena, he said, "I wonder if you would tell me about this? (pointing to the bowl).

"Oh, yes," Lena replied, "isn't it wonderful? I was walking downtown last fall, I found this little package on the ground. 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 or flu all winter."

For those of you who couldn't get a flu shot this year, you might want to give this a try!!
