IJMC - Does Your Campground Have a BC?

I'm not quite sure what more I can say about this, other than isn't 
communcation wonderful?					      -dave





The Story is told of a lady who was rather old fashioned, always quite
delicate and elegant, especially in her language.  She and her husband
were planning a weeks vacation to Florida, so she wrote to a particular
campground asking for a reservation. 

She wanted to make sure the campground was fully equipped, but didn't
quite know how to ask about the toilet facilities.  She just couldn't
bring herself to write the word "toilet" in her letter.  After much
deliberation, she finally came up with the old fashioned term BATHROOM
COMMODE.  But when she wrote that down, she thought she was being to
forward.  So she started all over again, rewrote the entire letter and
referred to the bathroom commode merely as the "BC".  "Does the campground
have its own BC ?" is what she actually wrote. 

Well, the campground owner wasn't old-fashioned at all and when he got the
letter he just couldn't figure out what the woman was talking about.  That
"BC" business really stumped him. 

After worrying about it for awhile he showed the letter to several
campers, but they couldn't figure out what the lady meant either.  So the
campground owner finally coming to the conclusion that the lady must be
asking about the local Baptist Church, sat down and wrote the lady the
following reply. 

Dear Madam,
 I regret very much the delay in answering your letter, but I now take
great pleasure in informing you that a BC is located nine miles north of
the campground as is capable of seating 250 people at one time. 
 I admit it is quite a distance away, if you are 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.  It is such a beautiful facility and the acoustics
are marvelous; even the normal delivery sounds can be heard. 
 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 planned to
raise money to buy more seats.  They are going to hold it in the basement
of the BC. 
 I would like to say it pains me very much not being able to go more
regularly, but it is surely no lack of desire on my part. As we grow older
it seems to be more of an effort , particularly in cold weather. If you
decide to came down to our campground, perhaps I could go with you the
first time you go, sit with you, and introduce you to all the other folks. 
(Remember, this is a friendly community.)
