"blog" from Larry Powers. Probably 1950 or 1951
The country school that Larry went to was about the size of the Miller's family room and kitchen combined. There was no indoor plumbing so you had to use an "outhouse" to go to the bathroom. Before you went to the "outhouse" you had to raise your hand and tell the teacher (and everone else in the school) you had to go. Larry thought that was embarrassing so he hardly ever used the "outhouse".
One day he had to go real bad so he raised his hand and told the teacher (and everyone else in the school) that he had to use the "outhouse". Well, after going to the bathroom he discovered there was NO TOILET PAPER!!. Larry had to take off his T shirt and tear it up and use it. Larry never used the "outhouse" again. If he had to go to the bathroom he would just put his head down on the desk until the pain went away. That is probably why he had a constipation problem later in life. Larry was thinking of suing the school for "mental and physical anguish" but they closed the school in 1955.
I always suspected he was full of something like that :(0)
