Best marriage proposal ever... Set the ground rules of the relationship at the very start:

Did you celebrate World Toilet Day? The recent holiday is a good reminder to rejoice as you read this article on your phone, maybe even while sitting comfortably on a modern, porcelain toilet, which flushes with water so crystalline clean you could, in hard times, drink it without too much fear of dying. (We do not recommend doing that, by the way.)
Going to the toilet wasn't always such a pleasant, risk-free experience for everyone, and even today, many people in America still go without proper sanitation. As recently as 1990, the rural stereotype of dropping trou in a shack out back was a reality for more than 1.1 million American households. If you think that's a lot of people, here's a little math for you. That represented 0.04 percent of the U.S. population back in 1990. Right here in 2015, a full 13 percent of the entire world's population are still living without access to an improved sanitation facility and are forced to defecate in the open. That's close to a billion people.

Real up to date article
This is crap.
I hate you.
Not if there are 2.75 Billion households.
How does this stuff even get printed?
1 billion people in the world don’t have modern toilets????that’s AMAZING progress....outhouses served humanity for centuries and did just fine....zillions of animals go potty on the ground and the world is better served because of it.
Probably inflated figures from those liberal progressives after promoting their new core math, or what ever you call it.
You know for them a 1000 looks like a million.

Barney Smith's Toilet Seat Museum in San Antonio, TX is an adventure.

Sorry Laz....not
He was only half joking when he suggested to my mom that early some morning he should roust us kids out of bed and herd us over to that neighbor's lawn to return the favor five-fold.
LOL you suck. :)
My dad, that is!! He’s the one who was an early-enough riser to spot the dog!
Reminds me of the family who moved to Los Angeles and rented a house. When the plumbing plugged up they cut a hole in a closet and used that till they left.
Then there was a man who moved in a trailer near me. No septic system, so he cut a hole in a chair and used it outside in summer and inside in winter.
When they got busted for meth making, the trailer was so contaminated it had to air out for years before being taken apart and the ground scraped.
I’ve watched the Selling Alaska show where people go shopping for rural homes in that state. Lots of them have outhouses and still go for six figures.
Lol, good one.
Our neighbors never had in home plumbing until about a year ago. They used the outhouse in summer, and a 5 gal pale in the winter.
Their home smelled, literally, like $hit. Warm summer months that stench that soaked carpets, walls, etc just heated up and about made a person vomit.
Three generations lived there, until one of the kids had plumbing put in.
