What about the people who still use corn cobs? Do they stack them up or lay them down? Might be an interesting survey........

Yup, those were the days. My Grandfather installed carpet in the bathroom... Grandma really liked it so she had him install it all the way into the house.......

It's just an old shanty in our back yard
The seats are worn, their rough and their hard
There's a seat there for Maw
There's a seat there for Paw
There's one there for Sister, me and my Brother In Law

It was applied with a hand operated pump sprayer [Flit gun] which often dripped  spray on the operator while it belched an oily fog into the air. Flits presence on an outhouse seat could cause an irritation to one's posterior and other related parts......
