The Water Closet
Sun Oct 17, 2004 11:37 pm
An English schoolteacher was looking for rooms in Switzerland. She called upon the local schoolmaster to help her find a suitable apartment. They found a room for her, and she returned to London to collect her belongings. She remembered that she hadn't seen a bathroom (or as she called it, a "water closet") anywhere when she'd viewed the apartment, so she wrote a letter to the schoolmaster asking if there was a W.C. in or near the apartment.
The schoolmaster had no idea what she meant by W.C. Finally, he consulted the parish priest who deduced that she meant a "wayside chapel". She received the following letter in the mail four days later:
Dear Madam:
The W.C. is located 9 miles from the house, in the heart of a beautiful grove of trees. It will seat 150 people at a time, and is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
Some people bring their lunch and make a day of it. On Thursdays there is an organ accompaniment. The acoustics are very good. The slightest sound can be heard by everyone. It may interest you to know that my daughter met her husband at the W.C. We are now in the process of taking donations to pay for plush seats. We feel that this is a long-felt need, as the current ones have holes in them.
My wife, being rather delicate, hasn't been able to attend regularly. It has been six months since she last went. Naturally, it pains her not to be able to go more often.
I will close now with the desire to accomodate you in every way possible, and I will be happy to save you a seat either down front or near the door, as you prefer.
Sincerely,
John Smith

That was so funny that I wished the letter was longer, so that more ridiculous misunderstandings could arise...
And oh, my favourite part:

Haha that's great . I knew about the whole W.C, I think we learned in german class what it means. I especially like the part about the lady not being able to go for six months and it "pains" her that she can't go more often lol.
