    Random weird thoughts

    I sometimes have random weird thoughts. Here is the latest.

    What sick twisted mind decided it was a good idea to build the first two holer outhouse?

    Any other random weird thoughts out there?

    You've got to much time on your hands Gene if you think about that.

        When I was young my grandpa had a two seat unit. One day he stood up and while pulling his pants up , a quarter dollar fell from his pocket and in the hole. He thought for a minute , pulled a $10 bill out and threw it in . "Grandpa, what are you doing, " I exclaimed. "You did not think I was going down there for just a quarter, did you?"was his reply.

          Sometimes my mind just wanders off in directions possibly best left unexplored.

            Actually it was probably a british invention, because in the age of the industrial revolution in the uk, the mill owners used to build a block of toilets, actually a drainage ditch with cubicles built over it. To stop their employees from taking too much time for a dump, the bathroom attendant poured parrafin into the top end of the ditch, then they set fire to it. thus came the expression " who set a light under his arse"

                    I did see a two story 'outhouse' in Mattoon, IL while visiting friends there.

                    THANK GOODNESS it was closed up. I was told the upper floor was used by management and sales staff only.

                      Why is a building called a building after it had been built?

                          It should be called a Builting, or just Built.

                            Why do they call it Common Sense when it seems very little people have it?

                            Why do people demand OP manuals and then never read them?

                            Why do IT people ask for a copy of the print drivers, but call you in to reinstall them?

                            Why can't customers understand the pictures and arrows on a jam removal sticker?

                            Just my thoughts .

                            Why do they call it common sense?

                            If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?
