Check this BillBoard sign out!

Took a picture of this billboard sign located in northern, PA, It this for REAL?

In todays world anything is possible! I tasted some city water in the midwest that tasted like it could have been theirs. Ack!! Poooooey!!

The story about these billboards was on our local news. It was an advertizing test? to see if people would pay attention to any ad, whether fictitous, that was on a billboard. I guess it took off because Charleston, SC has made a deal with a legit bottled spring water company and a grocery store chain to sell bottled water under this label, and to use the profits to restore a lighthouse.

Moda127, would you mind emailing me a copy of this picture? We don't have any of these billboards here and I collect outhouse memorabilia. Thanks in advance, Carol

Gads. Well, we do have Pee Pee Creek in southern Ohio, and there's the Pee Pee Gas Station right up the road from it a bit!

Carol 17, I have a fine picture of a doubledecker outhouse if you would like to have it.

Boy, I'd want the TOP bunk on that one!

GW, we don't sleep in the outhouse, unless we're hiding from someone. But you can certainly have the upper bunk. Actually, I don't think I ever saw a double decker, or one with bunks.

I once thought I would go around the country and take snapshots of outhouses, because some are sort of cute, but never got around to it. Somewhere in my vast piles of junk, I have a little book, a tongue-in-cheek thing, about how to build an outhouse. It was quite interesting, with specs and site orientation, giving the reasons for each detail. I think the title of it was "The Specialist".

I could see how one might fall asleep while in an outhouse, but it would not be my first choice of respites!

Mom said back in her day,it was real fancy to have
a two seater! lol. I bet that was double trouble
at times. She said there was this man who was always
running to the bathroom during church. Or he would
have to go back home a lot. Well,my Mom and some of
her friends decided to put his outhouse building
in the back of his wagon during the night. He went
out and found it the next morning and had to take
it to church with him. He was taking the preachers
place that day and didn't have time to unload it.
Everyone knew about his problem so i'm sure that
made it much worse. Bad Bad kids!

What a scream! I could never think of things like that, but always love to hear about those who did.

I often wonder how many people actually shoved an outhouse over into a creek, and how many just heard about someone else doing it and then said they did. It seems half the population over 65, and some under, tell this story as if they did it. Yet, I have never seen an outhouse in a creek.
But I did once see one someone had chained to a wagon and then left it and the wagon on a train track. I hope no one was in it, because the next time I saw it, it was kindling beside the track.

I was given a two door outhouse a couple of years ago. I am using it to store my pots in so I can call it the Potty Shed truthfully. LOL

Around here there are a LOT of outhouses on trailers being pulled around from field to field for the workers. Some even have a washing station on them and there are some so fancy as to have a two door one at one end for the women and a one door one at the other end for the men.

Used an outhouse plenty during the summers when I was a kid at my Grandparent's cabin. One time there was a skunk down there. PHEWWWYYYYYY we didn't use the outhouse for a long while then and we had to walk to the neighbor's outhouse then. Sometimes it was sure a LONG walk. LOL

I have the modern equivalent, one of those fiberglas things, out in the pasture, but it just ain't the same.

My little granny, who lived down along Lake Cumberland in Kentucky, usta have a three seater!
Two seats were "sized" for the adult derriere and the other "sized" a bit smaller for the kids!
There was newspapers up for wallpaper. And, yes, corncobs were present along with regular tp!

Don't forget the Sears Catalogue, usually with corners of the pages folded down and it stood up. Hmmm, hard to explain.

I remember that catalog when we used to go the West Virginia when I was a kid. Those folks back in the hills thought it was "unseemly" to have such a thing in the house. I think a few more winters finally convinced them though. There's nary a catalog in sight except on the coffee table when I go back now.

frogsrus, I just read your post and I'd love to have a copy of the picture! Thanks so much!

Carol7 You have mail!

My calendar this year is all pictures of outhouses. If you want to read a funny poem, Robert Service wrote one called The Three Bares about an outhouse with graded seats inside, enshrined in Morning Glory vines. Oh, and a little tip from me, don't chew stale gum in an outhouse. Ugh!
