Guest guest Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 Oregano is NOT the ONLY way to prevent colds. ;-) Miss Bea was in her late 80's 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 minister noticed a crystal glass bowl sitting on top of the organ. The bowl was filled with water and in the water floated, of all things, a condom. He was shocked and surprised .. surely Miss Bea had flipped her lid!! The pastor decided he should not mention this strange sight in her parlor .. but still, he was curious. When she returned with tea and cookies, they began to chat. The pastor tried to stifle his curiosity about the bowl and its strange floater, but soon it got the best of him, and he could resist no longer. " Miss Bea, " he said, pointing to the bowl, " I wonder if you would tell me about this. " " Oh yes, " she replied, " Isn't it wonderful? I was walking down town last fall and I found this little package. It said to put it on your organ and keep it wet, and it would prevent disease. And you know, I think it is working. I haven't had a cold all winter. " ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
