Do you know what an outhouse is?  If you are smarter than a head of lettuce you will know.  A survey of the most popular articles posted during the past week shows no less than seven games where participants have to name things found in:
1.     a bathroom
2.     a garage
3.     a garage sale
4.     a grocery store
5.     a kitchen
6.     a ship
7.     a teen's room

Wow!  How hard can these games get?  These seven were obviously designed for people dumber than a head of lettuce.

This game is designed for the rest of us.  It is made deliberately difficult.  I am not expecting anyway near the several hundred replies that the above have received.  I am looking forward to around three responses.  Obviously I'm not doing this for the points.

Here is my game,  Have fun.

Name something found in an outhouse.  And please, nothing smelly.

uh when they butchered chickens the chickens were in a bag in the outhouse the night before, I don't know why! That was several years ago
Abby N. May 29, 2008, 6:32pm EDT
When someone is using it, you'll find people in there, lol1

JRB and Liz: It seems you two are quite familiar with these once popular facilities. I didn't know there were any of us left. Thank you for your contributions to this most intellectual subject.

We sometimes used it when we didn't want to track mud inside.

Thomas Millington May 29, 2008, 7:01pm EDT
Thank you Ann. Vinyl yet. Very fancy. And electric lights too?
Thomas Millington May 29, 2008, 7:04pm EDT
What, no flies?

A Library is contained within the town of Polebridge, Montana's single hole public out-house ... there is no electricity in the town except for diesel generators and their fuel turned to jell and refused to flow a couple years back when the temperatures got to 50 below zero ... that outhouse was probably the one involved with monkey freezing off it it's brass balls ... :-)

Snakes too , we used to have one when I was little!

oops, I missed the "nothing smelly"
Thomas Millington May 29, 2008, 7:17pm EDT
Jerry: You are just a storehouse of useful information. I hereby bestow upon you the SMARTER THAN A HEAD OF LETTUCE award.
Lee W. May 29, 2008, 7:18pm EDT
a mess!
Thomas Millington May 29, 2008, 7:21pm EDT
Lee: One definition for 'crap' is 'nonsense'. So I will accept that definition and let you off the hook . . . providing you can demonstrate that nonsense may be found in an outhouse.
Lee W. May 29, 2008, 7:32pm EDT
Thomas, have you ever read some of the nonsense WRITTEN on outhouse walls? LOL
Jerry Kays May 29, 2008, 7:34pm EDT
Thanks Thomas, I will honour the honour forever. I know all of this because that place is just over the "hill" (by a rough road only passable for a few summer months) from my place. We always take visiting friends over there to give them the Montana flavour ...

I had to leave my vehicles out that winter here, 35 below, and my diesel truck also got the jelled fuel syndrome and would not run ... we were building our house then and fortunately our outhouse was inside by then ...
Jerry Kays May 29, 2008, 7:38pm EDT
Uhg ... there is usually a "moon" ... either in the door or the "other" one.

Donald: Thank you. I did not know that. Do people hang them in there to dry prior to cooking for consumption?
WS R. May 30, 2008, 1:03pm EDT
They are used in place of toilet paper---so I would assume after consumption. :-)
Thomas Millington May 30, 2008, 1:15pm EDT
WS R: Oh, I see. Thank you for enlightening me.
Donald Hawley May 30, 2008, 2:07pm EDT
Thomas: Where have you been hiding all these years?
WS R. May 30, 2008, 4:13pm EDT
Someplace without an outhouse, evidently! :-)
Thomas Millington May 30, 2008, 5:37pm EDT
Yes, we were too poor to afford an outhouse.
Thomas W. Jun 1, 2008, 2:44pm EDT
peanuts, corn (or the skins: i've never dislodged one, though i've been sorely tempted: that's the scatologist in me....), tape worms, maggots, loins (not INTRINSICALLY smelly), hocked and "redistributed" phlegm, a spittoon, a maxwell House can filling IN as a spittoon, an outlaw, a laudanum junkie, discarded corn-cob pipes, love letters (rotating: an outhouse could successfully have been used as a mailbox betwixt the star-crossed, and i think it's safe to say it WAS), a copy of the Bible (with pages missing, lol), salt (from evaporated urine, which may or may not be inherently "smelly"), unfit male children (still alive), female children (also still alive), suicides (fresh), and a well-washed human, squatting to observe the Call Of Nature.

Thomas W: Such colorful experiences you have had.

WHOOPS! Sorry about that... you can't flush those things, you know.
Thomas Millington Jun 27, 2008, 5:36pm EDT
Michael: Well, I never would have thought. I presume that's not typical.
