Miss Beatrice, the church organist, was in her 80s, and had never been married. She was always admired for her kindness and sweetness to all. One afternoon the pastor came over to visit her, and she showed him to a quiant sitting room. She invited him to sit while she prepared the tea. As he sat facing her old pump organ, the young pastor noticed a fancy bowl sitting on top. The bowl was filled with water, and in the water, out of all things, floated a condom! When she returned with the tea and scones, they began to chat. The preacher, 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, I wonder if you would tell me about this* he said pointing at 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 packet on the ground. The directions said to place it on the organ, keep it wetand that it would prevent the spread of disease. Do you know that I haven*t had the flu all winter!*
The pastor fainted.

John is having a bad day. He tried to button his shirt, and the button fell off. He picked up his briefcase and the handle fell off. He tried to open the door, and the doorknob fell off. Now he's scared to pee.

*Bless me father for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl.* The priest asks, *Is that you little Joey Pagano?* *Yes, Father, It is.* *And who is the girl you were with?* *I can*t tell you Father, I don*t want to ruin her reputation.*
*Well, Joey, I*m sure to find out her name sooner or later, so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?*
*I cannot say.*
*Was is Teresa Mazzarelli?*
*I will not tell.*
*Was it Nina Capelli?*
*Sorry, but I will not say her name*
*Was it Cathy Piriano?*
*My lips are sealed.*
*Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?*
*Please, Father, I cannot tell you.*
The priest sighs in frustration. *You*re very tight-lipped, and I admire that. But you have sinned and have to atone. You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go behave yourself.* Joey walks back to his pew and his friend Franco slides over and whispers,
*What*d you get?*
*Four months vacation and five good leads!*

A group of engineering students and their teacher were given a free air-plane ticket to go on a vacation. Once on the plane, the Captain announced that they were on the plane the students had built. Everyone freaked out and rushed off of the plane except for the teacher who sat there calmly. When the flight attendant asked why he hadn*t left, he responded *I know the ablilities of my students quite well. This plane won*t even start.*
