People actually visit them?! :shock: I am a 100% indoor plumbing kind of girl.
Years ago I had a girlfriend visit and she slept in our guestroom upstairs...and at the time we DID live in a really old farmhouse!...I kiddingly said "There's the bathroom in case you need it tonight." (Our bathroom was downstairs off the kitchen.) I didn't discover it until a couple of days later, but she had actually used the chamber pot! Talk about opening mouth and inserting foot...yep, I still laugh at that these many years later!
