Finagler 6853 Life Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 In the East German Republic of old, the TP was brown. It was nasty. It would take the hide off a mule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Jayne (RIP) who played bass with The Dillards (the Darlin's of Andy Griffith fame) had a schtick he did about outhouses. One of the best parts of the story was describing an outhouse to the folks in the audience -- from Beverly Hills. "It's a little pine building put out back about a 100 yards. In the winter it's a 100 yards too far, but in the summer, it's a 100 yards to near." Chick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Ours had a supply of newspaper that served a dual purpose. Other than the obvious the first thing you did was light a rolled up piece with a kitchen match, stick it down in the hole, swirl it around, and let the flame clear out any fiddlebacks, black widows, or yellow jackets. Experience is a good teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Scatterbrain Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 When I was a kid (seventies) I knew families who had outhouses, but they did have toilet paper. There was an outhouse at the church until about ten years ago. I know a woman who still has a "working" outhouse, in town no less, but it rarely gets used.
