Excuse me, but where is the Crapper?

Shouldn't this be in the History forum? :wink:

some of those are beautiful shitters that I would be honored to put to use..

Well, Ellpus. John Crapper invented the first indoor toilet, right?

A little frat song from UVA:

Twas a cold winter's evening,
The guests were all leaving,
O'Leary was closing the bar.
When he turned and he said
To the lady in red.
Get out, you can't stay where you are.

Ah, she wept a sad tear in her bucket of beer,
And thought of the cold nights ahead.
When a gentleman dapper stepped over the crapper,
And these are the words that he said.

Her poor mother never told her,
The things a young girl should know.
About the ways of college boys
And how they come and go
(mostly go)

She is lonely and downhearted,
And grief has left its sad scar.
So think of your wives and mothers, boys
And let her sleep under the bar.
(under the bar)

I like The Dolphin. There's something to be said about dropping a deuce in a dolphin's mouth. That's class.

My favourite is "The Clencher".

I suppose you're right, Reyn, but I just looked on it as general crap, so put it in "general".

OOaaahhh!!

Thank you, nimh.

It's good to know scatalogical humor can still bring a smile to people's faces in the right circumstances.

Time saving crapper
Crap on the move and get fit at the same time

are you familiar with the new "vacuum-suction" toilets as used on cruiseships ?
there is a warning posted above the toilet , telling the 'user' to :
get up , close the lid (!!!) and only then ... push the buttom .
anyone unfortunate enough to push the button while seated will have quite a surprise ! he'll likely loose some of his choicest parts ! (speaking from experience)
hbg

I'd be already happy, if we had some European crapperies here...

what's wrong with a good old-fashione outhouse ?
a 'two-seater' would be preferred since it would invite polite conversation. hbg

there's even an 'ode ' to the old-fashioned two-seater ... but none to the 'modern' convenience yet !

Twoseater Outhouse
-----------------------

I remember back in the day,
I'd go to visit my Aunt C.J.
Out in the country, the great outdoors, the
cows, the chickens, even the manure.
One of my favorite memories besides singing to
Dr. Hook, is the nightly trips to the outhouse
I remember we took. When it was dark, you
wouldn't catch me going alone. There were
wolves and coyotes, no telling what else!
So we'd venture out armed with a flashlight
and fear. I'd shine it everywhere to see what
was creeping near.
Finally inside with the door open wide, still
shining my flashlight to see whats outside.
"What was THAT!, Did you hear THAT!?"
C.J. would say, "Maybe it's just the cows
passing by."
Who'd ever forget wonderful memories like this?
Well, Not I!!

Everything old is new again. Hubby and I just "installed" our first privy at our camp. It's the cadillac of crappers with two (count 'em two) ventilation pipes for maximum air freshening and of course a layer of earth in the bottom of the barrel to get the composting ball rolling.

I know, I know, ask me in a couple of months if I'm still thrilled to be communing with nature while heeding nature's call....

I guess not, hamburger. But remember, you were only visiting -
your aunt had to use it day in day out - in winter when it was cold
outside, and in the summertime when the flies are a many.
Adventure to a boy with a flashlight, probably a nightmare to everyone
else, including the coyotes

A couple of months? I'm curious if you still feel that way at the end of that sentence. I like the outdoors myself, but not that much.

tai chi wannabee Ellpus?

crapper
old german joke (but could be universal)
-----------------------------------------------
granddaughter to grandma : "grandma , i don't like to go to the outhouse , there are so many flies there "
grandma : "you'll have to go at lunchtime , the flies won't bother you out there , they'll be in the kitchen !"

I don't thinks so, Jane....but from my past record....what do I know?

Whoo hooo - that's what I'm installing in my renovated bathroom, CJ - love those floating toilets. What I can't stand are the automatic flushers - they flush all the time - what a waste of water.

(How are you, btw?)
