What WC Does Not Stand For

When I first arrived in England last week, I was a bit surprised that there were no washrooms at the airport. Nor were there washrooms at my office or at the restaurant we went to for lunch! I was certainly relieved (and relieving) when I found a washroom in my hotel room.

A few days later, I had it pointed out to me that, in fact, most places in England did have washrooms, but they were mislabelled: WC. Here, now, are some of the things I expected to find in a WC, but usually did not.

• Web-accessing Computers — What convenience! Web access on every corner.
• Waterloo Collegiate — A school, in a closet, whatever!
• Wet Clothes — It could have been a laundry room.
• Wing Commander — WC was my batch file for starting the game ...
• Warp Chamber — Just like in Landau, Luckman, and Lake.
• Wolverine's Claws — Snikt!
• Wilt Chamberlin — But why does he have so many rooms ... in England?
• Withered Cleavage — Zoinks!
• Weierstrass-Cauchy — Hey, this is how I think.
• Wesley Crusher — I never liked him.
• Witty Comments — Unlike the ones in this article.

Well, that's my list, I only found a couple in WCs, but I still have a few more months of searching. Feel free to drop of your ideas for what a WC should contain and why in the BLACK BOX.

Cheerio,
