      It’s crazy someone would pay the equivalent of $500 for a contraption to shit in the woods when they could just…shit in the woods

      At the Sears return counter:

      I’d like to return this for a refund, please.

      *What seems to be problem?*

      The ad said it was completely odorless, and . . . well. . .

      *Let’s take a look, shall . . . OMG!*

      See?

      *Of course it stinks; you pooped in it!*

      I know two brothers who had a camper toilet in their house. Their dad could afford to have a regular toilet installed, he was just cheap. They’d wizz in the yard and poop down at granny’s place. Once the youngest moved out and nobody was there to empty the toilet he had one plumbed in.

      This type of camping product is still sold and still useful. If it’s too expensive for you, note Sears also offered a bucket with a toilet seat for $10.49, but that baby is gonna stink.

      The guy in the ad got it for his wife who does not wish to pee in the woods in the middle of the night. Or ever.

      There are some places where campers are required to be “self contained”. (These are also nice for boats.)

      Having little kids go in the woods ends up with foul-smelling little kids.

      Dude looks like he finished his morning coffee and is ready to take a walk in the woods and take care of business!

      He is so happy! – portable throne for the King of the House!

      That is High Livin’

      Thank you Sears he will soon proclaim!

      My parents had one of these in their primitive 16′ travel trailer in the early 1970s. It was NOT oderless!

      “Water supply for 120 uses” – how many turds can the magic briefcase hold?!
