Outhouse Disposal
Up a creek without a
paddle?
Little Johnny lived in the
country. They had to use an outhouse, and Little Johnny 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 Johnnie determined that one day he would
push that outhouse into the creek.
One day after a spring rain, the creek was swollen so Little Johnny decided
today 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, Little Johnny asked why.
The dad replied,
“Someone
pushed the outhouse into the creek today. It was you, wasn't it son?”
Little Johnny 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.”
His dad replied,
“Well,
son, George Washington's father wasn't in the cherry tree.”
