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 pump organ, the young minister noticed a
cut-glass bowl sitting on top of it. The bowl was filled with water.
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 a cold all winter.

I have spent my free time in the last couple of days reading stories from a (German) page where people can submit their favourite DIU (Dumbest Imaginable User, concerning computers) problems.
And, well, this little story now sounds awfully plausible to me.....

Hey DerGolgo, is any of the DIU in English? I'd like to check that out.... But my German sucks.

Fraid not. The odd bit in English sneaks in there and then, but of the hundreds of entries I have read so far, only two or so were in English.

But this looks similar.

believe it or not my brother plays the organ at the church for a lot of old laydies and this story brings to my mind all sorts of weird and unconfortable images
