Along the same lines... about a thousand years ago the comic strip Lil Abner was popular and had a sieries where it became the thing for all the rich peiple to have a outhouse on the front lawn. Lil Abner cut the moon, there by making them a "hand carved one".

Ken: In 1971 I built a new dairy barn facility complete with milking parlor, office and wash room facilites. Every Sun morning my dad would come for a visit just as I finished milking. Usually we would sit out front facing the highway and enjoying the morning sun. We usually used 5 gallon pails for seats. He lived about 1/2 mile away and always walked over. Our road led to lakes, fishing, other sports, etc. Lot of traffic on Sun. morning.

One such Sunday morning the bathroom fixtures had just been delivered and were setting on pad in front of building. Dad decided to use the thrown for his seat that morning. Finally after about a 1/2 hour of folks going by tooting their horns and waving, My wife emerged from the house advising that dad did look rather silly sitting on the thrown in front of the barn. Dad advised her he could flip the seat and take his pants down if folks were getting so much enjoyment from this. Marg. advised that wouldn't be necessary. I think we still have a photo of dad and I sitting out there in front of the barn. A couple of grand daughters thought it too good to miss. I think mom was sent out as a decoy just to keep us in position and talking.

Theory has it that Luna (crescent moon) was used for the women, and Sol (radiant sun) was for the men. The men's soon fell into such a state of filth and disrepair that we all stated using the women's.

Sammy: You reminded me of that country song back 30-40 years ago. One line went something like this,"I could hum a happy tune, sitting neath the quarter moon." Don't remember the title, but it started off, "They passed an ordinance in the town, said I'd have to tear it down."

Maybe his wife should check with township ordinance folks, before she runs into problems of being too authentic.

Hugh, I don't remember who sang it, but I think the name of the song was The Little Brown Shack Out Back.
