Toilet facilities and the Baptist
Church
The Story is told of a lady who was rather old fashioned, always
quite delicate and elegant, especially in her language. She and her husband were
planning a weeks vacation to Florida, so she wrote to a particular campground
asking for a reservation. She wanted to make sure the campground was fully
equipped, but didn't quite know how to ask about the toilet facilities. She just
couldn't bring herself to write the word "toilet" in her letter. After
much deliberation, she finally came up with the old fashioned term BATHROOM
COMMODE. But when she wrote that down, she thought she was being too forward. So
she started all over again, rewrote the entire letter and referred to the
bathroom commode merely as the "BC". "Does the campground have
its own BC ?" is what she actually wrote.
Well, the campground owner
wasn't old-fashioned at all and when he got the letter he just couldn't figure
out what the woman was talking about. That "BC" business really
stumped him. After worrying about it for awhile he showed the letter to several
campers, but they couldn't figure out what the lady meant either. So the
campground owner finally coming to the conclusion that the lady must be asking
about the local Baptist Church, sat down and wrote the lady the following
reply:
Dear Madam, I regret very much the delay in answering your letter,
but I now take great pleasure in informing you that a BC is located nine miles
north of the campground as is capable of seating 250 people at one time. I admit
it is quite a distance away, if you are in the habit of going regularly, but no
doubt you will be pleased to know that a great number of people take their
lunches along and make a day of it. They usually arrive early and stay late. It
is such a beautiful facility and the acoustics are marvelous; even the normal
delivery sounds can be heard. The last time my wife and I went was six years
ago, and it was so crowded we had to stand up the whole time we were there. It
may interest you to know that right now there is a supper planned to raise money
to buy more seats. They are going to hold it in the basement of the BC. I would
like to say it pains me very much not being able to go more regularly, but it is
surely no lack of desire on my part. As we grow older it seems to be more of an
effort , particularly in cold weather. If you decide to came down to our
campground, perhaps I could go with you the first time you go, sit with you, and
introduce you to all the other folks. (Remember, this is a friendly
community)
