A very proper lady began planning a week's 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 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'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.
Have a great day!
