Free Range by Bill Whitehead for March 03, 2016

Give me my brown pants.

In England “loo” is slang for toilet. Some say it comes from Waterloo.

I’ll bet that toilet was made by Oui Oui enterprises.

You might be and American (sorry only way to get in the joke) but in the outhouse European.

The English word loo is a mash-up of the French “l’eau”, or water. There are those, BTW ,who think Napoleon was so bothered by hemorrhoids that he couldn’t concentrate and left the actual command of the battle to his second-in-command. (Bey, I think, but don’t quote me.)

and that’s when things really hit the fan….

Wouldn’t that be a “waterless loo”?

This link goes to a book that speculates that Napoleon really was have potty issues before Waterloo.

Explains why brown pants are standard issue in all army’s.

Some people come here to sit and think. But, I come here to sit and stink.

For Napolean, it did not come out all right in the end.
