Few true outhouses. Tons of green or blue Johhny On the Spot's in the Army, for month or more at a time...
Funniest outhouse story I know of: Took my first wife (VERY city girl) up in CA mtns once. We get to the top of the mtn (8500 ft or so)after 2 hr drive. She has go. But won't go in the outhouse by the road. On the way back down, decides she HAS to go, so...
She goes in. Gets done. Asks how to flush it. Me being the regular SA I am "It flushes when you exit and close the door. That way they know it will get flushed." So - she comes out, closes the door, and puts her ear to the door to hear it flush. And nothing.
So she starts looking at me accusatorily. I tell her - it is an OUTHOUSE! "Well then, where does it go?" I explain it is just a seat over a hole in the ground! Man, she was royally pissed and could not believe that I had her sit over a hole in the ground full of stuff!
I was just plain flabbergasted...
