The Bathroom Commode.....or B.C.
There was a nice lady that was a little old fashioned. She was
planning a weeks vacation at a particular campground, but she wanted to make sure of the accommodations first. Uppermost in her mind were toilet facilities. However, she could not bring herself to write 'toilet' in a letter.

mpter considerable deliberation, she settled on "Bathroom Commode", but when she wrote that down it still sounded too forward so she rewrote the letter to the campground and referred to the bathroom commode as the'BC'.

Upon reading the letter, the campground owner was bmpfled by the inquiry for a BC. He showed the letter to several campers but they couldn't decipher it either. Finally, the campground owner figured she must be referring to the local Baptist Church. And so, he sat down and wrote the following:

"Dear Madam:

I regret very much the delay in answering your letter, but I now take the pleasure to inform you that a BC is located just nineteen miles north of the campground and is capable of seating 250 people at a time.

I admit, it is quite a distance away if you're in the habit of going
regularly, but no doubt you will be pleased to know that a great number of people 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 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 BC.

I would say it pains me very much not to be able to go more regularly.
There is surely no lack of desire on my part. As we grow older, it seems more of an effort particularly in cold weather.

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