Honesty Isn't Always the Best Policy

Once there was a little boy that lived in the country with his father. They had to use an outhouse, and the little boy hated it because it was hot in the summer and cold in the winter - and stank all the time.
The outhouse was sitting on the bank of a creek and the boy determined that one day he would push that outhouse into the creek.
One day after a spring rain, the creek was swollen and the little boy decided that that was the day to push the outhouse into the creek.
So he got a large stick and started pushing. Finally, the outhouse toppled into the creek and floated away.
That night his dad told him they were going to the woodshed after supper.
Knowing that meant a spanking, the little boy asked why.
The dad replied, "Someone pushed the outhouse into the creek today. It was you, wasn't it son?"
The boy answered yes. Then he thought a moment and said,
"Dad, I read in school today that George Washington chopped down a cherry tree and didn't get into trouble because he told the truth."
The dad replied, "Well, son, George Washington's father wasn't in the cherry tree."

Lol, so the little boy didn't check the outhouse was clear, before he pushed it into the creek!!! Hahaha. Naughty boy, he's lucky the father is still alive!!!
 
Ours always had spiders and the odd snake or two, it was pot luck whether you had to share it. My father actually got bitten by a red back spider that was on the toilet seat, on a very tender spot one night and had to get rushed to the hospital where he spent the night. It took a lot of courage for any of the rest of us to keep using that toilet especially at night. There was always a can of fly spray in there after that and regular daily spraying all around, especially the seat.
 
Our outdoor dunny used to house a carpet snake who refused to move out!
I'd completely forget about my needs if I knew there was one near where I needed to do my business!

I shudder at the thought of a spider anywhere near my tender spot!

I remember my mother would say don't go out there, the can man nearly here and they are crude and they smell.
