World's greatest joke

I have been heartily congratulated on a speech I wrote on the subject of toilet provision.

After a lengthy discourse on this pressing issue: We all need them, we all want them, and there aren't enough (that's enough of the gist to make sense of my quippery) I ended the speech with a rip-snorter of a funny.

"Only 28 out of 343 local authorities were represented at the World Lavatory Convention."

Oh! how they fell about.

Well, maybe you had to be there...

And then it was back to passing motions.
