This is a story to illustrate the problem of (mis)communication…..


Once a lady from US decided to buy a house in the countryside of England from a Bishop who also lived in US. The lady flew to England to view the mansion and found it with a lovely view and large spacious rooms. But, she could not find the toilet…. So, she wrote to the Bishop:

Dear father Brown,
I have seen your house and love it. I have a question though… immensely. Could you please tell me where the WC is?

She meant Water Closet as the toilet is sometimes called so. But in the area where the mansion was there was a famous church named ‘William Church’, locally referred as ‘WC’. The Bishop assumed that and replied:

Dear Mrs. Hawkins,
I am very glad to inform you the location of WC. It is very popular in those parts. All the kings and queens of England have visited it. It’s at a distance of 5 miles south the mansion. You need not to worry about the transport as WC is connected by bus at regular intervals. On your first visit to WC you will be handed a paper, which you must preserve to use every time you visit WC. On loosing the paper you’ll be provided another one at a cost of 1 pound more. Men & women must be seated separately until they are married couple. Absolute silence must be maintained inside WC. Photographers are not allowed inside WC, so your privacy will be maintained.
I am pretty sure; you’ll enjoy your visit to WC.

Needless to say, the lady dropped the idea of buying house from a holy man who seemed to be such a queer person!!
