Thread Name: BS: Falling out of toilets
Subject: RE: BS: Falling out of toilets
A friend of mine of the female persuasion decided that a port-o-let was the perfect place to change out of her re-enacting gear into her civvies for the long drive home from Camden,SC to Florida after a Rev War re-enactment. This was back during the Bi-Centenial.
As it was getting dark, she took her trusty candle lantern with her and treated the camp to a shadow-show that was the talk of the re-enacting communtiy for some months thereafter and inspired a verse of the Port-O-Let Song. To wit:
(sung to the tune of O Tannenbaum.)
Within thy thin translucent walls,
Port-O-Let, O Port-O-Let
We dare no light when nature calls,
Port-O-Let O Port-O-Let.
For if a gleam of light is shown,
Bold shadows on thy walls are thrown,
And to the world our secrets known,
Port-O-Let O Port-O-Let.
A rare and inspiring ditty.
