If you need Clarification...Ask
This is a humorus story my wife forwarded me. Moral of the story... if in doubt....seek clarification;)
---------------------------------------------
A very proper lady began planning a week's camping vacation for her and her Baptist Church group. She wrote to a campground for reservations. She wanted to make sure that the campground was fully equipped and modern, but couldn't bring herself to write the word "toilet" in her letter. So, she decided on the old fashion term "Bathroom Commode". Once written down she still was not comfortable. Finally she decided on the abbreviation "B.C." and wrote, "does your campground have its own 'B.C.?'"
When the campground owner received the letter, he couldn't figure out what she meant by "B.C." He showed it to several of the campers, one of whom suggested the lady was obviously referring to a Baptist Church since there was a letterhead on the paper which referred to a Baptist Church. So he sent this reply.
Dear Madam: The B.C. is located nine miles from the campground in a beautiful grove of trees. I admit it is quite a distance if you are in the habit of going regularly. No doubt you will be pleased to know it will seat 350 people at one time, and it is open on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday of each week. Some folks take their lunch and make a day of it. The acoustics are very good, so everyone can hear even the quietest of passages. It may interest you to know that my daughter met her husband there. We are having a fund-raiser to purchase new seats as the old ones have holes in them.
Unfortunately my wife is ill and hasn't been able to attend regularly. It's been a good 6 months since she last went. It pains her very much not to be a able to go more often. As we grow older, it seems to be more of a effort, especially in cold weather. Perhaps I could accompany you the first time you go, sit with you, and introduce you to all the other folks who will be there. I look forward to your visit. We offer a very friendly campground.
