Sponge on a stick. That's pretty well documented.

I joke that I have a sponge on a stick for my disaster preps. ;)

I won’t believe it until they find the plastic chain thingy that gets hung up when you flush so that you have to come back five minutes later and jiggle the handle.

I hate to think of what they used for tissue.

Sponge on a stick...

So, what exactly are they digging in? I mean, it’s a toilet, right? You gotta really love your job to do that. (Somewhere in there is a pony.)

Some things are best left buried...

Are you ready to plop your butt down on this “perfectly preserved” seat, BBC fool?

[BobL]

I don’t see a flush handle...so mine is better.

“Commodious, how many times must I tell you to change the sponge water every day”?

I was about 5 and I dropped a dog named Fido in the outhouse after granny said it was worthless and belonged there.

My uncle “peanut” had to go down and get Fido out.
Back hills of Kentucky, true story.

“That toilet seat was privy to a lot of scuttlebutt and hot air.”

You, sirrah, have found the bottom of the barrel. ROTFLMAO

[Cloverfarm]

Must have been all guys using it, because there doesn’t appear to be a lid to leave up or put down ;-)

First time I remember seeing the word "faboulous" used with "latrine."

Now, here is one fabulous latrine:

I vaguely remember that scene. What movie is it from?

[FreedomPoster]

“***gasket” is the colloquial term.

[colorado tanker]

It's No Time For Sergeants, starring Andy Griffith. His Drill Instructor made him Permanent Latrine Orderly, which his character thinks is a great honor.

When the inspecting officer finds out about this, the DI is in deep doodoo, so to speak.

Thanks!

[Redcitizen]

lol @ “bottom of barrel”! Good tie in. :)

[trisham]

I don't care, I am still putting down one of those tissue paper SeatGard things.

LOL! People haven't really changed much, it seems.
