A Visit To Miss Bea
Miss Bea 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 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 prophylactic. Imagine his shock and
surprise. Imagine his curiosity!
Surely Miss 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. It 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."

LAUGHTER, n. An interior convulsion, producing a distortion of
the features and accompanied by inarticulate noises. It is
infectious and, though intermittent, incurable. Liability to
attacks of laughter distinguishes man from the animals . . .
