RANDOM AM EBAY OBJECTS
another 341. I WANT THOSE EYES!
Every old house, at one time or another, had a least one outhouse or privy. Lots of us still remember them oh too well, especially that winter time part. An incredibly interesting “sport” around here is digging up the earth where these old privies stood. Great treasures of all kinds were thrown into the privy: Evidence, whiskey bottles, you name it. Other things fell in accidentally: Watches, coins, or anything else that might fall out of your pockets while using the facility.
I hope this doesn’t creep you out, but there was one more thing that ended up in the privy – dolls! Many a little girl has come running and screaming back to the house: “I dropped Sally in the privy! She’s dying!” Mother had to console her, but that was Sally’s doom.
