Subject: Old Fashioned Lady
There was a nice lady who was a little old fashioned. She was planning a
weeks vacation in Florida at a particular campground, but she wanted to make
sure of the accommodations. Uppermost in her mind were toilet facilities,
but she couldn't bring herself to write "toilet" in a letter. After
considerable deliberation, she settled on "bathroom commode", but when she
wrote that down it still sounded to forward. So, she wrote this letter to the
campground, and referred to the bathroom commode as the 'B.C.'. Does the
campground have it's own "B.C.?" is what she actually wrote. The campground
owner was baffeled. He showed the letter around to several of the campers,
but they couldn't decipher it either. Finally, the owner figured she was
referring to the location of the local baptist church: so, he sat down and
wrote back to her as follows:
Dear Madam:
I regret very much the delay in answering your letter, but I now take the
pleasure in informing you that the 'B.C.' is located nine miles north of the
campgrounds, 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 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. It was so crowded we had
to stand up the whole time we were there. It may intrest you to know that
right now there is a supper 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, it is no lack of desire on
my part. As we grow older, it seems to be more effort--particularly in cold
weather. If you decide to come to our campground, perhaps I could go with you
the first time. I'd sit with you and introduce you to all the other folks.
Remember, this is a friendly community!! Hope to see you soon.
