搞笑 W. C.

There's a story told about an English woman who went to Switzerland on vacation. She liked it so much that she decided to move there. For help in finding a place to live, she went to the local schoolmaster because he could speak English. On her way back to England, she realized she hadn't seen a W.C. or water closet (washroom) in the apartment she had chosen. Dismayed, she wrote to the schoolmaster. Without any idea what a W.C. could be, the schoolmaster went to the minister. The minister remembered that this lady had expressed some interest in church, so he thought a W.C. must be what they call in Switzerland a Wayside Chapel. So, the schoolmaster wrote back this letter:
"My dear madame, I take great pleasure in informing you that the W.C. is situated nine miles from your house, in the centre of a beautiful grove of pine trees, surrounded by lovely grounds. It is capable of holding 229 people and it is open on Sundays and Thursdays only. As there are a great number of people expected during the summer months, I suggest that you come early, although there is usually plenty of standing room. This is an unfortunate situation, especially if you're in the habit of going regularly. I would especially recommend your ladyship go on Thursday when there is organ accompaniment. The acoustics are excellent and even the most delicate sounds can be heard anywhere. The newest addition is a bell donated by a wealthy resident of the district. It rings every time a person enters. My wife is rather delicate and she cannot attend regularly. It's almost a year since she last went and naturally it pains her very much not to be able to go very often. I shall be delighted to reserve the best seat for you where you shall be seen by all. Hoping to be of some service to you, I remain affectionately yours, the schoolmaster."
