Anybody who has lived long enough to remember what it was like to have to use an outhouse should choose this as the single most important convenience of our lifetime.
My family is from rural Oklahoma and Texas and later from Bakersfield, Ca.
I remember having to use the outhouse, a double holer with different size holes, while working on my uncles farm in Ok back in the mid 50's and early 60's. As late as 1965 my grand parents still had a single holer in Bakersfield, hot summer days were a real biatch trying to do your business while holding your breath.
Indoor plumbing, what a great concept!
