Title: Water Closet
Subject: Water Closet
In the days when you couldn't count on a public facility to have indoor
plumbing, an English woman was planning a trip to
Germany. 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 the schoolmaster inquiring into the location of the nearest 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 wrote 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 229 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
last, which pains her greatly.
You will be pleased to 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
