Only politicians are allowed to have outhouses.

I’ve often felt like taking a leak outdoors, particularly when I see those “environmentally sensitive aquifer recharge zone” warning signs. I figger if all sorts of animals are allowed to pee there, why shouldn’t I?

Funny letter, but on a more serious note, those old fashioned outhouses may have been "natural" but they were hardly safe. Fortunately, cholera is no longer a common disease in this part of the world and hopefully the man leasing out the cabin has taken precautions with that type of facility to prevent illness and disease.

Just call me the thread party pooper. lol

As a backpacker, I’ve read several trail books, and I must say I was dismayed to read that the Grand Canyon has problems with human waste. Supposedly, people have to “carry it out”; can anyone confim this?

That would change the experience forever:
“Is the fire out?” “Got it!”
“Everyone packed and ready to go?” “Sir yes sir!”
“Are the feces secured?” (crickets chirping)

If Obama is allowed to do it on our Constitution, why can’t a hunter do the same thing in the woods?

“has taken precautions with that type of facility to prevent illness “

The proper outhouse will see a bag of lime sitting on a shelf. It keeps the amount of critters down.

Sounds like AGE to me.

IIRC, “de minimus” has a legal meaning which translates to “too unimportant to be worthy of notice”.

The Judge also was kind in his indirect references to the circus that would ensue if any more efforts were expended on “the case of those who dumped in the woods”.

yes

“de minimus” has a legal meaning which translates to “too unimportant to be worthy of notice”.

And what i would hope is a federal judge would rule that the carbon dioxide human beings contribute to the atmosphere is: de minimus.

oh well. i was trying to make a joke.
