. Smilie.
Well it is a piece of Americana:
There are folk who grow nostalgic about the fast disappearing part of
life in rural America - the outhouse or privy. History buffs photograph
outhouses as architectural treasures and even collect the old wooden
hole-in the board seats. One fan advocates starting the 'American
Association for the Preservation of Old Outhouses and Privies' or
AAPOOP!
So far no comment from the other AA - American Airlines.
