It occurred to me the other day, while chatting with
redrita, that perhaps having used an outhouse was not a universally shared experience. Therefore, I present you: The Great Outhouse Usage Poll. Oh, you can thank me by sending money. Or not.
Definition time: for the purposes of this pool, use the following.
Outhouse: a structure meant for elimination of bodily waste which is not part of a dwelling and does not have the benefit of plumbing. (The waste goes into a hole and stays there.)
Latrine: a very temporary sort of outhouse consisting of a hole in the ground and, if you're lucky, a tarp strung for privacy. The hole is covered with dirt when camp is struck.
Chamberpot: sort of a potty-chair for the potty-trained, used when the outhouse is not especially accessible due to distance or weather or pitch-black darkness. Typically emptied into the outhouse in the morning.
