BAPTIST BATHROOM
A very proper lady began planning a week's camping vacation for her
and 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 could not 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 could not 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
BaptistChurch since there was a letterhead on the paper, which
referred to a BaptistChurch.
Therefore, he sent this reply:
Dear Madam,
The B.C. is located nine miles from the campground 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 has 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.
Love You my Friends Madie
