This story comes from my good friend, Karen Hampton (back then). She tells
it about her sister Linda....
This is a true outhouse story that took place around the late 1940's in Texas
amid the tumble weeds and the wind storms. You see we weren't rich enough to
have an indoor toilet, but we really didn't care that much. That is until
wintertime. BBrrrrr Bottoms!!! Well, anyway my big sister Linda dropped her
allowance down the "toilet". A whole dollar bill. She sat and thought "now how
can I get it out?" Well do you know what she did? She called me... "Kaaren...
Kaaren", and I came runnin. Well, she grabbed me and held me by the feet! Head
down in the "toilet",and told me "if you don't get my dollar I'll drop you in!"
Well, Ray, I got that dollar! and she never caught me near that toilet when she
got her allowance again! Whew! That was a stinker! Huh? ohh yes, hehehehe, the
toilet!!!
