- BACKGROUND!
- A British Lady, while visiting in Switzerland, was looking for a room
- and she asked the school master if he could recommend any. He
- helped her to see several rooms and when everything was settled,
- the Lady returned to England to make final preparation for the move.
- When she arrived home, the thought suddenly occured to her that she
- had seen no 'WATER CLOSET' around the place. So she immediately
- wrote to the school master, asking him if there was a W.C. around.
- The school master was a very poor master of English, so he asked the
- Parish Priest if he could help in the matter. Together they tried to discover
- the meaning of the letters 'W.C.' and the only solution they could find for
- the letters was 'WAYSIDE CHAPEL'. The school master then wrote the
- following note tothe English Lady seeking a 'W.C.' with her room:
-
- Dear Madam,
- I take great comfort in informing you that a W.C. is situated nine miles from
- the house, in the center of a lovely grove of trees, surrounded by lovely
- grounds. It is capable of holding 229 people and opens only on
- thursdays and sundays. As there are a great many people expected
- during the summer months, I would suggest that you come early, although there
- is plenty of standing room. I know this is an unfortunate situation, especially if
- you are in the habit of going regularly.
-
- You will no doubt be glad to learn that a good number bring
- their lunch along with them and make a day of it, while others who can afford to
- go by car, arrive just in time. I especially advise your ladyship to go on thursdays
- when there is an organ accompaniment. The acoustics are excellent and even
- the most delicate sounds can be heard by all.
-
- It may interest you to know that my daughter was married in the W.C. and it was
- there that she met her husband. I can remember the rush there was for seats. There
- were ten people to a seat usually occupied by one, and it was wonderful to see the
- expressions on their faces.
-
- The newsest attraction is a bell donated by a wealthy resident of the district.
- It rings every time a person enters. A bazaar is to be held to provide plush seats
- for all, since the people believe that is a long-felt need.
-
- My wife is rather delicate, so she cannot go there regularly. It is almost a year
- since she last went. Naturally, it pains her very much not to be able to go more often.
- shall be delighted to reserve the best seat for you if you wish, where you may be seen
- by all.
-
- Of course, the children go at a separate time, so as not to disturb their elders.
- Hoping to have been of service to you, I remain,
-
- Yours Truly
- The School Master
