Better than a Flu Shot!


Kingstree, S.C.

Two entries today since I missed a few and had to deal with sarcastic messages about Charleston Weekly Photo on my voice mail. (Ha!) I love this quaint little tire shop. I made the driver of the car I was in circle the block a couple of times to get a shot. It's lost some of it's charm the last time I saw it so glad I got a picture when I did.

Bonus joke for flu season:

Better than a Flu Shot!
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 Hammond organ, the young minister noticed a cute glass bowl sitting on top of it. The bowl was filled with water, and 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.

'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 the flu all winter.'

It is still in business it just didn't look so colorful and cool the last time I went by.

Hope your computer woes get worked out. I passed the joke along and everyone got a big laugh out of it.

That's pretty durn funny, Joan. Sent it on to me mum. She's a church lady with a wicked sense of humor.
