We keep getting 'signed portraits' from the political candidates.We decided the outhouse makes a pretty good "photo gallery".Only select few get that honor.....

That was as good as we had in those days. I will admit it wasn't all that comfortable on a real hot day, nor when it was 35 - 40 degrees below zero.

Although the Sears catalog was printed on slick paper it was better than the corn cobs.

Well when you were a kid and it was late at night going to the outhouse was as bad as it got.

I would have to think you never had the runs in those days, especially late at night. Some times you couldn't make it, not fond memories at all.

DeltaRed,

LOL. So in the "commode alfresco" do you keep the signed portraits of those you like... or the ones you throw darts at?

In our outhouse we hung up some country music album covers and other stuff that I created in MS Publisher. Also keep an antique cream bucket full of cobs - just in case someone is averse to using the Cottenelle.

Remember the out house well. Never wanted to stay in there long enough to read anything. We had one up until I was a senior in school. Dad had to haul water most of the year for our use. He sure wasen't going to use it for a flush toilet. Stan

Hey Rustred,

That's a quote we have in our outhouse. Think it comes from the US Marines... but I put it with a picture of John Wayne near our the Cottonelle roller.

For such emergencies, as well as for rain, snow and nighttime, we had chamber pots (slop jars, we called 'em) in every bedroom. We finally got an inside flusher when I was about 15.

We have a great outhouse up at our cabin . Cedar interior . Insulated . 2 small windows . Ran electric to it,has a light and milk house heater . Solar light on outside . I like in better than toilet at home. Plus if you leave the door open the view overlooking the river valley is fantastic .

dad always told this one. Was in bar talking with old timers and first one said he dug new hole for outhouse. was pretty proud that he dug for a whole day . got it all done and had to use it . Dropped his bibs and squeezed one out. Counted to ten before he heard it hit bottom . 2nd guy says ,thats nothing . I dug for 2 days. got done and tried it out , dropped bibs and counted to twenty three before I heard it hit bottom .Third old timer pipes up, well I built me a dandy . Dug the the hole for 3 days . got done and was trying it out . dropped my bibs and counted to 100 . got up and there it was ,stuck to my bibs strap .

There was a story of a farmer who got tired of holloween pranksters tipping over his out house. Happen every year, pranksters would get behind it and tip it over.

One year the farmer got an idea and moved the out house forward about three feet. After holloween he simply moved it back the same amount. No more problems after that.

If you've never heard "Ode To The Little Brown Shack Out Back" (Or if you would like to hear it again), Go to You Tube-Music and type in the title. There are several versions there.
