<<When I go to Canada - its running water and air conditioning. I'm not going to the bathroom in an outhouse >>

When I was a kid we went to a place in Canada where we were Jeeped in the last 10 miles. There was a blueberry patch between the cabins and outhouses. Had to check for bears before going each way.

Speaking of outhouses, Roberts said he saw you drop a $10 bill into an outhouse. When he asked you why you said "I dropped a dollar into the holding tank and I'm not jumping into the holding tank for just one dollar."

My grandma and grandpa lived in the country and had a two holer...one time a rattle snake started crawling in the door so my grandma grabbed the door tight squeezing the snake and started yelling for my grandpa. Well, grandpa was hard of hearing, and also almost blind as a bat, so when he arrived at the outhouse, he started pulling on the outhouse door.

Grandma was pulling on the other side and the snake was in the middle. There was so much noise, my dad came out with his shot gun and saw immediately what was happening, so he finally got through to grandpa to move and he shot the snake. Grandma was so scared and so mad, she shoved the door into grandpa, knocked him down and then ran and climbed a tree.

This is a true story...too.
