Marshall Blonsky, professor of semiotics at the New School in New York, said for one thing, people don't slam outhouse doors.

And you know this how, professor?

What would Marshall di Manhattan know about outhouses?

[sofaman]

How do you become a professor of semiotics?

Better yet...what is semiotics?And it's purpose is what?

Last question...has anyone evr heard of a more useless specialty?

Professor, get a real job...and this putz is probably tenured too.

"What would Marshall di Manhattan know about outhouses?"

Obviously, not a damn thing.

This is so ridiculous.

"What would Marshall di Manhattan know about outhouses?"

Oh......of course; that's easy.

Actually, many outhouse doors have or did have a strong spring on the door and the doors indeed did slam. The reason, of course, was those in the house wanted to make sure the door remained tightly closed when nobody was using the facility. Outhouse doors, after all, did not typically have a lockset handle to catch and remain shut.

The locking mechanism was usually a hook and eye on the inside so the occupant could retain privacy.

=====================

I grew up with an out house complete with crecent cut in the door. It had a system to automaticly drop the lid when the door was opened -- SLAM-- and a spring to pull the door shut --- SLAM. The fraud of a prof knows not of what he speaks.

Well, I've never been in a real outhouse, but I've used a portajon plenty of times on construction sites. Now there's where you can find some real cartooning talent! Also, it's a great source for taglines!

Oh, and the doors slam, they have a spring.

Obviously, this NewYork jackass professor has never worked a day in his life. Typical ignorance of the 'intellectual elite'.
