[MR] camping toiletries JOKE

[deepfatfriar at mindspring.com]

OK, sorry, that was a joke. The titles do exist and are period, but have nothing to do with personal sanitation, except perhaps in a highly mystical, spiritual way. They certainly have nothing to do with the practicalities of alimentary elimination. 

Was that delicate enough? 

So don't waste your time researching them or your money ordering them. It was a joke.

Sorry.

I remember one of my aunts bringing a chamber pot to a family reunion...it
was a standard enameled steel pot, white with a red stripe around the lid.
I didnt' know what it was, I thought it was strange to have a cooking pot
in the bedroom...boy was I surprised (& kinda grossed out) when I lifted
the lid for a peek. But considering the treacherous & ancient staircase,
uneven footing, etc. (old mountain house) it made perfect sense for
someone in their 70's.

You can pick up a cheap porta-pottie for around $15 at wal mart. Put in a
gallon of water, some blue stuff, and keep the lid on. Even has a little
depression for toilet tissue. And no, it doesnt' smell...you'd never know
it was there. I've used one for the last few years now.
