this is an old one,but it makes me laff out loud all the time
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the days when you couldn't count on a public toilet facility, an
Englishwoman was planning a trip to India. She was registered to stay
in a small guest house owned by the local schoolmaster.
She was concerned as to whether the guest house contained a WC. In
England, a bathroom is commonly called a WC which stands for "Water
Closet". She wrote to the schoolmaster inquiring the facilities about
the WC.
The school master, not fluent in English, asked the local priest if he
knew the meaning of WC. Together they pondered possible meanings of
the letters and concluded that the lady wanted to know if there was a
"Wayside Chapel" near the house . . a bathroom never entered their
minds.
So the schoolmaster, with the help of the priest, got together the
following reply:

Dear Madam,
I take great pleasure in informing you that the WC is Located 9 miles
from the house.It is located in the middle of a grove of pine trees,
surrounded by lovely grounds. It is capable of holding 29 people and
is open on Sundays and Thursdays. As there are many people expected in
the summer months, I suggest you arrive early.There is,however, plenty
of standing room. This is an unfortunate situation especially if you
are in the habit of going regularly. It may be of some interest to you
that my daughter was married in the WC as it was there that she met
her husband.
It was a wonderful event. There were 10 people in every seat. It was
wonderful to see the expressions on their faces. My wife,sadly, has
been ill and unable to go recently. It has been almost a year since
she went,which pains her greatly. You will be pleased to last know
that many people bring their lunch and make a day of it. Others prefer
to wait till the last minute and arrive just in time!

I would recommend your ladyship plan to go on a Thursday as there is
an organ accompaniment.
The acoustics are excellent and even the most delicate sounds can be
heard everywhere. The newest addition is a bell which rings every time
a person enters.
We are holding a bazaar to provide plush seats for all since many feel
it is long needed. I look forward to escorting you there myself and
seating you in a place where you can be seen by all.
With Deepest Regards,
The Schoolmaster
