Possibly the most funniest joke I have ever heard

And possibly my longest blog post title to date ... Anyway, here's the joke:

An English lady, while visiting Switzerland, was looking for a room for a more extended stay, and she asked the schoolmaster if he could recommend any to her. He took her to see several rooms, and when everything was settled, the lady returned to her home to make the final preparations to move.

When she arrived home, the thought suddenly occurred to her that she had not seen a "W.C." around the place. So she immediately wrote a note to the schoolmaster asking him if there were a "W.C." near the room.

The schoolmaster was a very poor student of English, so he asked the parish priest if he could help in the matter. Together they tried to discover the meaning of the letters "W.C.," and the only solution they could come up with for the letters was for a Wayside Chapel. The schoolmaster then wrote the following note to the English lady:

Dear Madam: 

I take great pleasure in informing you that the W.C. is situated nine miles from the room that you will occupy, in the center of a beautiful grove of pine trees surrounded by lovely grounds. It is capable of holding about 229 people and it is only open on Sunday and Thursday.

As there are a great number of people who are expected during the summer months, I would suggest that you come early; although, as a rule, there is plenty of standing room. You will no doubt be glad to hear that a good number of people bring their lunch and make a day of it. While others who can afford to go by car arrive just in time.

I would especially recommend that your ladyship go on Thursday when there is a musical accompaniment. It may interest you to know that my daughter was married in the W.C. and it was there that she met her husband.

I can remember the rush there was for seats. There were ten people to a seat ordinarily occupied by one. It was wonderful to see the expression on their faces. The newest attraction is a bell donated by a wealthy resident of the district. It rings every time a person enters.

A bazaar is to be held to provide plush seats for all the people, since they feel it is a long felt need. My wife is rather delicate, so she can't attend regularly. I shall be delighted to reserve the best seat for you, if you wish, where you will be seen by everyone.

For the children, there is a special time and place so they will not disturb the elders.

Hoping to have been of service to you, I remain,

Sincerely,

The Schoolmaster.

I had first read it in a newspaper, when I was about 12. I've tried to find this copy for so long! And then it struck me - it'll be on the Internet! D'oh! And here it was! And for those who didn't get it, the W.C. that the English lady was asking about, stands for Water Closet, or in Indian lingo, a Western Commode.

For all you movie [especially Bollywood] lovers out there! I ❤ this movie review blog! Been reading this since the start of 2008 ^.^ I've requested for a review on the 3 Idiots, I think they're going to write it up soon! Such prompt replies to emails, too ...

smh.

And what does Rachel mean when she says that?! I always thought it meant something along the lines of ... "ugh", or "meh", but it's actually:

Shaking My Head.

I can't believe I couldn't figure that out. Hmph.

Of brooches and washing machines ...

I made a corsage brooch.

I proudly showed it to my grandma.

I grinned and put it in the pocket of my favourite purple hoodie. [Why oh why did I do that?!]

I chucked the hoodie in the washing machine.

And I got an awesome-smelling scrunched up brooch as a result.

Thank goodness it's not that scrunched up. Thank goodness the cardboard didn't disintegrate [I'd've cried if it had]. Thank goodness I hadn't yet attached the pin to it [which means it's not a brooch brooch as of now, but, oh well, it's getting there! :P]!

A close-up of my broochie [which is not technically a broochie].

About that awesome glass bulb. Mum got it from Smith & Caugheys for $1!! And about those ribbons. I got them for 20c and they're actually used as hair bands. I got 10 colours! :D

A dose of funnae.

Though there is no way that I have Pneumonia, I just found this poster interesting, for it strikes to me like a man-eating shark. Ha ha ha ha ... cough cough ... ha ha ha!!

Quiz 3!

Okay, not really a quiz, but a guessing game, more like :)

NB: This quiz is NOT applicable to Kunal, Aparna, Rashmi, and Laxmoii!! [because you guys have seen me a million times! Duh!]

This might be the easiest quiz ever.

Oooo, so, which one of these is me? [Sorry about the blur! I swear it's not so in the original picture ... ]

p.s.: If you click on the pic, it opens in a new window, and it's not blurry anymore! Yaay!

L.O.L.

I have decided to 'lol' less, and 'haha' more. Because I 'lol'. A lot. [without a reason, sometimes]

Today's Word of the Day:

Well, I just saw this profile icon that said:

In Harry Potter, Bella tortured Alice into insanity.

Well ...

I guess that happened in Twilight too.

Today's Word of the Day:

That's It.

Yaay, thanks Quinn, for following me!

A friend is nearly finished with her exegesis, while I haven't. She happily mentioned that she's going to watch Home and Away. I happily replied with this:

you can watch home and away. i cannot.

you can eat ice cream and celebrate. i cannot.

you can frolic through your backyard and make daisy chains. i cannot.

you have finished your zeitgeist. i have not.

Anywho, it's a bit random but I still wanted to post it here. Hey, it's not everyday I feel that poetic.

Tra-la-la ...
