A very proper
lady was planning a camping vacation
for her Baptist Church group ...
She wrote to a
campground for reservations. She
wanted to make sure that the
campground was fully equipped and
modern, but couldn't bring herself to
write the word "toilet" in her letter.
So, she
decided on the old-fashioned term
"Bathroom Commode." Once written down
she still was not comfortable. Finally
she decided on the abbreviation "B.C."
and wrote, "does your campground have
its own "B.C.?"
When the
campground owner received the letter,
he couldn't figure out what she meant
by "B.C." He showed it to several of
the campers, one of whom suggested the
lady was obviously referring to a
Baptist Church since there was a
letterhead on the paper which referred
to a Baptist Church.
So he sent
this reply.
Dear Madam:
The B.C. is
located nine miles from the camp
ground in a beautiful grove of trees.
I admit it is quite a distance if you
are in the habit of going regularly.
No doubt you will be pleased to know
that it will seat 350 people at one
time, and it is open on Tuesday,
Thursday, and Sunday of each week.
Some folks like to take their lunch
and make a day of it.
The acoustics
are very good, so everyone can hear
even the quietest passages. It may
interest you to know that my daughter
met her husband there. We are also
having a fund-raiser to purchase new
seats, as the old ones have holes in
them.
Unfortunately
my wife is ill and has not been able
to attend regularly. It's been a good
six months since she last went. It
pains her very much not to be able to
go more often. As we grow older, it
seems to be more of an effort,
especially in cold weather.
Perhaps I
could accompany you the first time you
go, sit with you, and introduce you to
all the other folks who will be there.
I look forward to your visit.
We offer a
very friendly campground.
