Can I be the dope that asks someone to explain what is
so obvious?<<

The abbreviation WC is a term, mostly of British usage, for "water
closet"...a toilet.  It also has a historical context in broadcasting:
When Jack Paar was hosting The Tonight Show, and was battling NBC
censors over his choice of material, one night he told a
double-entendre-laden joke about a WC.  The joke was cut from the show
without his knowledge or permission, and the next night he walked off
the show.
