If You Gotta Go, Start Early<br />>>> =============================<br />>>> <br />>>> A very proper lady began planning a week's camping vacation for<br />>>> her and her Baptist Church group. She wrote to a campground for<br />>>> reservations. She wanted to make sure that the campground was<br />>>> fully equipped and modern, but couldn't bring herself to write<br />>>> the word "toilet" in her letter.<br />>>> <br />>>> So, she decided on the old-fashioned term "Bathroom Commode"<br />>>> Once written down she still was not comfortable. Finally she<br />>>> decided on the abbreviation "B.C." and wrote, "does your<br />>>> campground have its own "B.C.?"<br />>>> <br />>>> When the campground owner received the letter, he couldn't<br />>>> figure out what she meant by "B.C."<br />>>> <br />>>> He showed it to several of the campers, one of whom suggested<br />>>> the lady was obviously referring to a Baptist Church since there<br />>>> was a letterhead on the paper which referred to a Baptist<br />>>> Church.<br />>>> <br />>>> So he sent this reply:<br />>>> <br />>>> <br />>>> <br />>>> Dear Madam: The B.C. is located nine miles from the campground<br />>>> in a beautiful grove of trees.<br />>>> <br />>>> I admit it is quite a distance if you are in the habit of going<br />>>> regularly. No doubt you will be pleased to know that it will<br />>>> seat 350 people at one time, and it is open on Tuesday,<br />>>> Thursday, and Sunday of each week.<br />>>> <br />>>> Some folks like to take their lunch and make a day of it.<br />>>> The acoustics are very good, so everyone can hear even the<br />>>> quietest passages. It may interest you to know that my daughter<br />>>> met her husband there. We are also having a fund-raiser to<br />>>> purchase new seats, as the old ones have holes in them.<br />>>> <br />>>> Unfortunately my wife is ill and has not been able to attend<br />>>> regularly. It's been a good six months since she last went.<br />>>> It pains her very much not to be able to go more often.<br />>>> <br />>>> As we grow older, it seems to be more of an effort, especially<br />>>> in cold weather. Perhaps I could accompany you the first time<br />>>> you go, sit with you, and introduce you to all the other folks<br />>>> who will be there.
