Background Information:
An English lady, while visiting in Switzerland, was looking for a room and asked the school-master if he could recommend one. He took her to see several rooms, and when everything was settled, the lady returned home to make final preparations to move.
When she arrived home, the thought occurred to her that she had not seen a "W.C." in the entire place. So she immediately wrote a note to the school-master asking him if there was a "W.C." in the place. The school-master was a very poor student of English, meaning he wasn't familiar with too many terms and abbreviations. He asked the Parish Priest if he could help in the matter. Together they tried to find the meaning of the letters, "W.C." . The only solution they could find for the letters was " Wesleyan Chapel". The school-master then wrote the following letter to the English women:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Dear Madam;
I take great pleasure in informing you that the W.C. is situated nine miles from the house in the center of a beautiful grove of pine trees surrounded by lovely grounds. It is capable of accommodating 229 people, and it is open on Sundays and Thursdays only. As there are great numbers of people expected during the summer months, I suggest that you come early, although usually there is plenty of standing room.
This is an unfortunate situation, especially if you are in the habit of going regularly. It may be of some interest to know that my daughter was married in the W.C. and it was there that she had met her husband. I can remember the rush for seats that day. There were 10 people to every seat that was usually occupied by only one. It was wonderful to see the expressions on their faces.
You will be glad to hear that a good number of people bring their lunch and make a day out of it, while those who can afford to go by car, arrive just on time. I could especially recommend your ladyship to go on Thursdays when there is an organ accompaniment. The acoustics are excellent, and even the most delicate of sounds can be heard everywhere.
My wife is rather delicate so she cannot attend regularly. It is almost a year since she went last, and naturally it pains her very much not to be able to go more often.
I shall be delighted to reserve the best seat for you, where you shall be seen by all.
Hoping to be of some service to you,
The School Master

Venkat...thanks for starting off my day with this terrific joke.
btw...WC means Water Closet...So named because of our british heritage. Think we are the only country in the world still using the term " Cloak Room" that too for the same reason. Ever seen anyone in India wear a Cloak??

Venkat..very difficult to answer..that Question, as every line is a gaffaw-raiser. take the very last line for instance.. " I shall be delighted to reserve the best seat for you, where you shall be seen by all. "..
From top to bottom, this is one Oscar winning joke.

If I am to make a choice, I would choose the third para of the School Master's letter wherein he mentions that there will be an organ (musical) accompaniment on Thursdays!! Also, the accoustics bit!!

The icing on this joke/cake is that toilet seat manufacturers are merrily advertising in the space above!!

Looks as if many of our humorous folk have not yet read it!!

Thought the joke i saw today fits into this category... 
Jesus and Satan have a discussion as to who is the better programmer. This goes on for a few hours until they come to an agreement to hold a contest, with God as the judge.
They sit themselves at their computers and begin. They type furiously, lines of code streaming up the screen, for several hours straight. Seconds before the end of the competition, a bolt of lightning strikes, taking out the electricity. Moments later, the power is restored, and God announces that the contest is over.
He asks Satan to show what he has come up with. Satan is visibly upset, and cries, “I have nothing. I lost it all when the power went out.”
“Very well, then,” says God, “let us see if Jesus fared any better.”
Jesus enters a command, and the screen comes to life in vivid display, the voices of an angelic choir pour forth from the speakers. Satan is astonished.
He stutters, “B-b-but how? I lost everything, yet Jesus’ program is intact. How did he do it?”
God smiled all-knowingly, “Jesus saves.”
