Ole and Lena had never been camping and they heard about a nice camp near Black River Falls, Wisconsin. Lena was worried about the toilet facilities, but she didn't want to use the word "toilet," so she wrote a letter to the campground owner. She remembered that around Minot, North Dakota where they lived, they used to call it an L.C. Or Lavatory Commode. But she was prim that she didn't want to say toilet or Lavatory Commode, so she simply asked in her letter if the camp has an L.C.The campground owner read Lena's letter and was puzzled about the initials L.C. He finally decided it meant LUTHERAN CHURCH. So he wrote back to Lena the following letter:"I am happy to inform you there is a local L.C. Located nine miles north of the camp ground. I realize this is kind of far if you are used to going regular. It is really a nice one...it seats 250 people. The last time my wife and I went was 6 years ago and it was so crowded we had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. Some people like it so much that they bring their lunch and make a day of it. There is going to be a fund raising dinner in the basement of the L.C. And they're going to use the money to buy more seats. It pains me that I can't go more often like I know I should, but it gets more difficult when you get older, especially in the winter. So, you come down and stay at our camp, and maybe we can go with you the first time to the L.C. And sit with you and I'll introduce you to all the nice folks around here, because, after all, this is a very friendly community."
