[at-l] What's a Privy?

[athummingbird]

Marsha,

You reminded me of a story my Dad told about an experience in his 
youth.  He put a tape recorder with a message inside of an outhouse.  A 
lady went in and the message started.  It said "Would you mind moving 
over, lady?  I'm painting down here!"

Thanks for the memory you brought back to me.
