Who fixes the piping? E Plumbus Unionus?
@simpsonfan: A fair question. Assuming it was not satirical (always a possibility in these things), old facilities were known as “jakes.” Over time, polite society “sanitized” the term into “johns.” So, are “longjohns” toilets for tall people?
I prefer the term “Thunder-box”.
