Just Grin and Share It Friends

Some of us have friends that can't resist telling a joke or a funny story nearly every time we come in contact with them. They can't help it, they were just born with a funny bone. They are the kind of friends that constantly remind us that joy comes in the morning, unless we wake up on the wrong side of the bed. This post is for all of my friends who did exactly that this morning. If you didn't, I hope you will read along anyway because I would like to share one of my favorite funny stories with you. I hope it makes you laugh out loud or at least gives you a Cheshire grin.

The Story of the "W C"

In the days when you couldn't count on a public facility to have indoor plumbing, a British woman was planning a trip to Germany. She was registered to stay in a small guesthouse owned by the local schoolmaster and she was concerned as to whether the guesthouse contained a WC. (In England, a bathroom is commonly referred to as a WC, which is an abbreviation for a water closet). So, she wrote to the schoolmaster inquiring as to the location of the nearest WC.

The schoolmaster, not fluent in English, asked the local priest if he knew the meaning of WC. Together they pondered possible meanings of the letters and concluded that the lady wanted to know if there was a Wayside Chapel near the house. So, the schoolmaster wrote the following reply:

Dear Madam,

I take great pleasure in informing you that the WC located 9 miles from the house. It is located in the middle of a grove of pine trees, surrounded by lovely grounds. It is capable of holding 229 people and is open on Sundays and Thursdays. As there are many people expected in the summer months, I suggest you arrive early. There is, however, plenty of standing room. This is an unfortunate situation, especially if you are in the habit of going regularly.

It may be of some interest to you that my daughter was married in the WC as it was there that she met her husband. It was a wonderful event. There were10 people in every seat. It was wonderful to see the expressions on their faces. My wife, sadly, has been ill and unable to go recently. It has been almost a year since she went last, which pains her greatly.

You will be pleased to know that many people bring their lunch and make a day of it. Others prefer to wait till the last minute and arrive just in time! I would recommend your ladyship plan to go on a Thursday as there is organ accompaniment. The acoustics are excellent and even the most delicate sounds can be heard everywhere. The newest addition is a bell, which rings every time a person enters. We are holding a bazaar to provide plush seats for all since many feel it is long needed.

I look forward to escorting you there myself and seating you in a place where you can be seen by all.


Sincerely,
Schoolmaster


Grin and share it friends! :)
