A joke the British will understand

No this is not even close to my funniest joke, but here is a joke the British will understand, and probably only the British.  ;)

WC = bathroom in the UK (short for water closet)

A newly married couple wanted to buy a house in the country, and went to
look at the  Vicarage. They decided to purchase it on the spot. After
leaving, the girl said "John, I don't  remember seeing the W.C. in the
house."
"Neither did I", said John.

So they wrote to the vicar and asked him where the W.C. was, and not
knowing the term  W.C. the vicar thought they meant the Wesleyan Church
and imagine their surprise when they  received the following letter:

Dear Sir or Madam

I regret the delay in answering your letter, the nearest W.C. is in the
country 7 miles away  from the house. This is rather unfortunate
especially if you are in the habit of going regularly  but you will be
pleased to know that a number of people take their lunch and make a day
of  it. It has been built to seat 300 people and the committee have
decided to install plush seats  to ensure greater comfort. Those who can
spare the time walk, others take the bus and get  there just in time.
There are special arrangements for the ladies, presided over by the
Minister who gives them all the assistance within his power, while
children all sit together  and sing during the cerermony.

I hope this information will be useful to you. Hymn sheets will be
provided at the door.

Yours faithfullly

The Vicar.

But I've got another one for you (way-hey I hear you all shout! :))


Two fish in a tank and one turns to the other and says:
" Do you know how to drive this thing?"


(c'mon, you know you want to laugh out loud :D)

Kashif - you know you found that funny...you just don't want to admit it cause then people wouldn't get to say "cheer up kashif"!  

Anyway, i don't need your approval, my 9 year old brother laughed at them so i know they're good!
