That BC business really stumped him. After worrying about it for awhile, he showed the letter to several campers, but they couldn't imagine what the lady meant either. So the campground owner, finally coming to the conclusion that the lady must be asking about he local Baptist Church, sat down and wrote the following reply.
She wanted to make sure the campground was properly equipped, but didn't quite know how to ask about the "toilet" facitilities. She just couldn't bring herself to write the word "toilet" in her letter. After much deliberation, she finally came up the the old-fashioned term "bathroom commode".
Humor: The B.C. 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. Instead, she referred to the bathroom commode as "BC" after the first page of the letter: "Does the cabin where I will be staying have its own BC? If not, where is the BC located?" In the process of filing, the campground owner lost the first page of the letter. So she started all over again and rewrote the entire letter referring to the bathroom commode merely as the BC.

Instead, you get some pious bathroom humor. I suspect you'll enjoy it. The staff member's wife, who knew that the lady was the widow of a famous Baptist preacher, was sure that it must be a question about the local Baptist Church.
"Of course," the first staffer exclaimed, "'BC' stands for 'Baptist Church.'. After much deliberation, she finally came up with the old fashioned term "Bathroom Commode," but when she wrote that down, she still thought she was being too forward. So she started all over again; rewrote the entire letter and referred to the "Bathroom Commode" simply as the "B.C.".
Basic Baptist Bathroom Some humour for the day (with no offence intended to the Baptists!) 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 the campground was fully equipped, but didn't quite know how to ask about the toilet facilities.
