Water Closet?
Okay, here is a joke, maybe not funny, but anyway, please let me know what you think:
An English lady, while visiting Switzerland, was looking for a room, and she asked the schoolmaster if he could recommend any to her. He took her to see several rooms, and when everything was settled, the lady returned to her home to make the final preparations ot move. When she arrived home, the thought suddenly occured to her that she had not seen a W.C., or a water closet in british, which we would probably call bathroom
So she immediately wrote a note to the schoolmaster asking him if there were a w.C. around. The schoolmaster was a very poor student of English, so he asked the parish priest if he could help in the matter. Together, they tried to discover the meaning of the letters W.C. adn the only solution they could find for the letters was a Wayside Chapel. The school master then wrote to the English lady the following note:
Dear Madam:
I take great pleasure in informing you that the W.C
is situated nine miles from the house you occupy, in the center of a beautiful grove of pine trees surrounded by lovely grounds. It is capable of holding 229 people and it is open on Sunday and Thursday only. As there is a great number of people and they are expected during the summer months, I would suggest that you come early, although there is plenty f standing room as a rule.
You will no doubt be glad to hear that a good number of people bring their lunch and make a day of it, while other who can oafford to go by car arrive just in time. I would especially recommend that you ladyship g on Thursday when there is a musical accompaniment. It may interest you to know that my daughter was married in the W.C. and it was there that she met her husband. I can remember the rush there was for seats. There were ten people to a seat, usually occupied by one. It was wonderful to see the expressions on their faces.
The newest attraction is a bell donated by a wealthy resident of the district.
It rings every time a person enters. The bazaar is to be held to provide plush seats for all the people, since they feel it is a long-felt need. My wife is rather delicate, so she can't attend regularly.
I shall be delighted to reserve the best seat for you if you wis, where you will be seen by all. For the children, there is a special time nad place so that they will not distrub the elders. Hoping to have been some service to you, I remain
Sincerely
The schoolmaster
