An English lady, visiting Switzerland, was looking for a room and she asked a school master if he could recommend any. He took her to see many rooms, and when everything was settled, the lady returned home to make preparation for the move. Once home, she realised she had not seen a water closet (toilet) around the place, so she wrote to the schoolmaster to ask as where the W.C. was. His English wasn’t very good so asked the priest the meaning. They decided it must mean “Wayside Chapel”. His reply went as follows:
I wish to inform you that the WC is situated 9 miles from the house, in a grove of trees with lovely surrounding grounds. It can hold many persons at a time and is open Thursday and Sunday. There are many expected during the summer months so I suggest you come early. There is plenty of standing room but but not a very comfortable situation to be in if you are in the habit of going regularly.
On Thursday there is an organ accompaniment. The acoustics are excellent, even the most delicate sounds can be heard by all. My daughter was married there and in fact she met her husband there. My wife is rather delicate, so she can’t attend regularly. It’s almost a year since she last attended which pains her greatly. I shall be delighted to save a special seat for you where you can be seen by all.
The Schoolmaster.
