[nilesfunnies] Fw: Come Early And Bring Your Lunch



A woman who was rather old-fashioned, delicate, and elegant was planning a
week's vacation in Florida, so she wrote to a particular campground and
asked for a reservation. She wanted to make sure the campground was fully
equipped, but didn't quite know how to ask about the toilet facilities.
She just couldn't bring herself to write the word 'TOILET' in her letter.
After much deliberation, she finally came up with the old-fashioned term
'BATHROOM COMMODE.' But when she wrote that down, she still thought she
was being too forward. So she started all over again, rewrote the letter
and referred to the bathroom commode merely as the B.C. 'Does the
campground have it's own B.C.?' is what she actually wrote.

The campground owner wasn't old-fashioned at all and when he got the
letter, he just couldn't figure out what the woman was talking about. That
B.C. business really stumped him. After worrying about it for a while, he
showed the letter to several campers, but they couldn't imagine what the
lady meant either. So the campground owner, finally coming to the
conclusion that the lady must be asking about the location of the local
Baptist Church, sat down and wrote the following reply:

"I regret very much for the delay in answering your letter. I now take the
pleasure in informing you that a B.C. is located nine miles north of the
campground 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 usually
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 and it was so crowded
that we had to stand up the whole time we were there. It may interest you
to know that right now, there is a supper being 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 but it is sure no lack of desire on my part. As we grow older,
it seems to be more of an effort, particularly in cold weather.

If you do decide to come down to our campground, perhaps I could go with
you the first time you go, sit with you, and introduce you to all the
other folks. Remember, this is a friendly community."
