camp reservationA strange reply for  a campground reservation

This story is about a rather strange reply for a campground reservation.
It is said to be true, but you be the judge...

A woman who was rather old-fashioned, delicate, and elegant - especially
in her language - was planning a week's vacation in Florida so she wrote
to a particular campground and asked 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 still thought she was being too forward.
So, she started all over again, rewrote the letter and referred to the
bathroom commode merely as the B.C.  'Does the campground have it's own
B.C.?' 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 B.C. business really stumped
him...
After worrying about it for a while, he showed the letter to several
campers, but they couldn't imagine what the lady meant either.  So the
campground owner, finally coming to the conclusion that the lady must be
asking about the location of the local Baptist Church, sat down and
wrote the following reply:
'Dear Madam: I regret very much for the delay in answering your letter.
I now take the pleasure in informing you that a B.C. is located nine
miles north of the campground and 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 usually take their lunches along and make a day
of it.  They usually arrive early and stay late.'
'The last time my wife and I went was six years ago and it was so
crowded that we had to stand up the whole time we were there.  It may
interest you to know that right now, there is a supper being planned to
raise money to buy more seats.  They're going to hold it in the basement
of the B.C.' 'I would like to say it pains me very much not to be able
to go more regularly but it is sure 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 do decide to come 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.'
