You all got fine hats but you poop in a bowl in the room where you sleep? / An angry Lowerth: What of it? Name me a finer solution! / Lil' Nephew, with his 'salesman' on: Dude. A private room, with a water system that washes the mess away into a hidden pit. / Lowerth, still angry: Insanity! Such home irrigation would rival the Hanging Gardens of Babylon for outlay and upkeep! / Lil' Nephew: I'ma go out in the backyard and build one. You see if it don't make sense when I'm done. / Caption: SOON In the backyard stands the contraption. It's made of two steel drums, with poorly welded pipe connections between, a hand operated water pump handle in the top drum, an outtake pipe trailing forward of the painful looking wooden seat. A long steel protrusion holds the perforated toilet paper roll. / Lowerth, scratching his old chin thoughtfully: Interesting. I know not whether to piss in it or wish it well on its voyage to the new world. / Lil' Nephew: Put your ass where your mouth is, old man. I got a track record. / Caption: THEN / Lowerth sits on the contraption, pants around ankles, but long shirt maintains his modesty. His legs are surprisingly muscular. He is pulling the water pump handle. / Lowerth: Why....this pleases me! And I feel proud to use the handle! / A pleased Lowerth holds a proud hand on Lil' Nephew's shoulder: Dear boy, commit to paper ten more of these inventions, and we shall call a convocation of marvels... They will shock from far and wide to sample of your genius! / An old school flyer: COME ONE, COME ALL! THIS SATURDAY! / I. Sanders & Son. 12 Stryd Ych. / INVENTIONS ON DISPLAY: The TOILET. This system of canisters which dispatches excreta in an intellectually satisfying fashion! / MARVELS OF THE AGE: The FORK. No longer considered an affectation of Italian homosexuals, the FORK lifts food twice as well as a knife. / NACHOS. A layered oven dish of exotic origins, the Nacho is sure to raise as many questions as it satisfies. / {{I learned early on in life that I had a talent for wanting to draw ugly guys on the toilet}}
