Water Closet

An English schoolteacher was looking for rooms in Switzerland. She called upon the local schoolmaster to help her find an apartment that would be suitable. Such rooms were found, and she returned to London for her belongings. She remembere that she had not noticed a bathroom, or as she called it, "a water closet". She wrote to the schoolmaster and aksed if there was a "W.C." in or near the apartment.
The schoolmaster not knowing the English expression, was puzzled by the "W.C.", never dreaming that she was talking about a bathroom. He finally sought advice from the parish priest. They concluded that she must mean a Wayside Chapel. The lady received the following letter a few days later.

Dear Madam:

The W.C. is located 9 miles from the house, in the heart of a beautiful grove of trees. It will seat 150 people at one time, and is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
Some people bring their lunch and mkae a day of it. On Thursday there is an organ accompaniment. The acoustics are very good. The slighest sound can be heard by eveeryone. It may interest you to know that my daughter met her husband at the W.C. We are now in the process of taking dontaions to purchase plush seats. We feel that this is a long-felt need, as the present seats have holes in them.
My wife, being rather delicate, hasn't been able to attend regularly. It has been six months since she last went. Naturally, it pains her not to be able to go more often.
I will close not with the desire to accommodate you in every way possible, and will be happy to save you a seat either down front or near the door, as you prefer.
