A funny for you.

One day an American woman, looking for rooms in a tiny village in Switzerland, asked the local school master if he knew of any.

He took her to several places and after deciding on one of them, she returned to her hotel in a nearby town.
However, later on she remembered, she had not seen a “water closet”, know in the USA as a WC in or near the house. She wrote a letter to the school master about this.

The school master upon receiving her letter was troubled because his English was very poor and he did not know the meaning of WC. So he took the letter to the local priest and together they decided that WC. must stand for “wayside Chapel”.

The following is the letter they wrote in reply:

Dear Madam.

I have the pleasure of informing you, that the WC. is located 9 miles away from the house in the centre of a beautiful grove of pine trees and surrounded by wonderful scenery.

It is capable of holding 350 people at one time.

It is opened on Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturdays.

There is always a large crowd that attends in summer.

I would advise you to be early, although there is plenty of standing room. This however is an uncomfortable position, if you are not in the habit of going regularly.

No doubt you will be pleased to hear, that a number of people take their lunch and make a day of it.

Others, who cannot spare the time, travel on Saturdays as there is an excellent organ accompaniment, even the most delicate sound is audible. I will add that there are hymn sheets behind the door, for your own personal use.

It may interest you to know, that my sister was married in this WC., It was here that she first met her husband. I still remember the rush for seats that day, there were 10 people on the seat I usually occupy.

My father had been going here ever since he was christened.

A wealthy resident of our society has recently installed a bell in the WC., which rings every time a person enters.

A bazaar is going to be held soon and the proceeds are going to be used for new seats, which are greatly needed.

My wife is rather delicate and she cannot attend regularly. It has been 6 months since she last went. Needless to say, it hurts her very much not being able to go.

I shall close now, with the wish to be of service to you in every way. If you want me to save you a seat next to me, I shall be very happy to do so.

Love from Switzerland.
