Washrooms in the ACC????

WHERE's THE "BC"

THERE was a rather old-fashioned lady, always quite delicate and

elegant, especially in language. She and he husband were planning a

week's vacation in Toronto, so she wrote to the Air Canada Centre and asked for

a reservation to take in a game. She wanted to make sure the site was fully equipped,

but didn't know how to ask about the toilet facilities. She just

could not bring herself to write the word "toilet" in her letter.

After much deliberation, she finally came up with the term

"bathroom commode". But after writing that down, she still thought

she was being too forward, so she rewrote the entire letter and

referred to the "bathroom commode" merely as the "BC". "Does the

rink have its own BC?" is what she actually wrote.

Well, the Public affairs manager wasn't old-fashioned at all and when

he got the letter, he just couldn't figure what the woman was

talking about. That "BC" business really stumped him. He showed

the letter to several associates, but they couldn't imagine what the

lady meant either. So the managerfinally came to the

conclusion that the lady must be asking about the location of

the nearest Baptist Church, sat down and wrote the following reply:

DEAR MADAM,

I regret the delay in answering your letter, but I now take the

pleasure of informing you that a BC is located 9 miles north of

the Centre and is capable of seating 250 people at one time.

It is located in a beautiful pine grove and is open only on Sundays

and Wednesdays. 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 many people take their lunch along and make a day of it.

They usually arrive early and stay late.

My daughter met her husband in the BC. Sometimes it is so crowded

there are five to a seat. 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. It pains me very much not

to be able to go more regularly, but it is surely not due to a lack

of desire on my part. As we grow older, it seems to be more of an effort,

particularly in our cold weather. If you decide to come to our Centre,

perhaps I could go with you the first time you go and sit with you

and introduce you to all the other folks. We will be sure to get

a seat up front where you can be seen by everyone. Remember, we are

a friendly community.

Sincerely, the Air Canada Public Manager.
