When nature calls, where do you go?

When you get that feeling … when you can’t hold it any longer and you just have to go … where do you do it? I grew up in Australia and remember spending summers in the outback. When nature called, I would have to use an outhouse — a long drop toilet in a tiny shed in the backyard. I would go as quickly as possible, terrified that… Read more →←
