Communication

Well once again I write yet this time much closer to Christmas. I found a story that all though it is not Christmas related I thought that you would all enjoy. I just kind of show us that you always need to communicate well other wise you might be miss- taken, and definitely for very wrong reasons.

The Water Closet

It seems that a little old English lady was looking for some rooms in Switzerland. She asked the local village schoolmaster to help her. A place that suited her was finally found and the lady returned to London for luggage. She remembered then that she had not noticed a bathroom or as she gad called it a “water closet”. So she wrote to the school master. He was puzzled by the initials “W.C.” never dreaming of course that she was asking about a bathroom. He finally asked the help of the Parish Priest who decided that W.C. stood for Wesleyan Church, this was his reply:

Dear Madam,
“The W.C. is situated nine miles from the house in the center of a beautiful grove of trees. It is capable of holding 350 people at a time and it is open on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday each week. A large number of folks attend during the summer months so it is suggested you go early, although there is plenty of standing room. Some folks like to take their lunch and make a day of it, especially on Thursday when there is an Organ accompaniment. The acoustics are very good and everyone can hear the slightest sound.”

“It may be on interest to you to know that my daughter was married in our W.C. and it was there that she met her husband. We hope you will be there in time for our bazaar to be held very soon. The proceeds will go towards the purchase of plush seats, which the folks agree are a long felt need, as the present seats all have holes in them.”

“My wife is rather delicate; therefore she can not attend regularly. It has been six months since the last time she went; naturally it pains her very, very much not to be able to go more often.”

“I shall close for now with the desire to accommodate you in every way possible and I will be happy to save you a seat down in front or near the door, which ever you prefer.”

-The School Master

So there you have it, it DOES go to show that if we do not communicate clearly you can be seriously miss- taken and for extremely wrong reasons though maybe not quite this bad, but still.

But now on an entirely different matter, don’t forget this Christmas to keep the right spirit and try to find somebody to help and possibly make a difference in their lives. So for yet another blog and almost 500 words more. I sign off once more, as always pondering what will be the next subject.
