Holly has been doing a lot of thinking. Holly has been doing extensive investigating. Holly finds that the best solution to her problem may be installing one of these:
Holly has decided that a porta-potty, johnnie-on-the-spot, porta-john may be her only option. She has decided that this is the location for her new purchase:
Why would Holly who lives in a lovely suburban neighborhood in a house that could (but doesn’t) have a white picket fence with complete indoor plumbing choose to install a porta-potty, johnnie-on-the-spot, porta-john?
It might have something to do with the plunger that is permanently attached to Holly’s left arm. Holly’s left arm is tired of plunging. Holly has noticed that she is starting to choose outfits in the morning based on whether they match the plunger attached permanently to her left arm.
Holly is wearing green hoping that her green-wearing karma will overcome her low-flow toilet hating soul. Holly’s low-flow toilet hating soul is dark, very dark. Holly’s low-flow toilet hating soul is deep, very deep. Holly’s low-flow toilet hating soul is attached to a body sporting a plunger as a permanent fixture.
Holly’s low-flow toilets seem to have something against the act of flushing.
Hey low-flow toilets…why are you so anti-flush?
Holly also wonders what is the point of low-flow toilets if she has to attempt flushing them three kazillion times with intermittent plunging. Ironically Coincidentally, that is the exact same decibel (three kazillion) Holly’s voice hits when she hears, “Mommy! The toilet isn’t working!”
So, until Al Gore dedicates his life to plunging Holly’s low-flow toilets or suitable alternatives in the United States of Low-Flow Toilets (US of LF T) are legal. Holly is planning this drastic action.
Holly will no longer allow people to use the INDOOR toilets. Holly will lead them to the OUTDOOR toilet which never needs plunging despite the level of crap.
Holly can only hope that the proximity to the patio of the new porta-potty, johnny-on-the-spot, porta-john could encourage its use by a certain Holly’s dog…
Bwah! Holly is funny.
you and your plunger attachment makes me laugh.
sorry.
Our plumber bought up several toilets befor they went to the very low flow ones that are required now in new construction. His boss had a fit- he added them to the bosses account at the plumbing supply place. His boss was really happy they had them on hand, as the new ones do not flush properly.
We have an old house that modern plumbing was added to in the late 1950s? The pipes do not slope steeply enough to drain properly with the modern low flow toilets. The plumbers advised us to keep the old toilets, even if we remodel the bathrooms and replace the other fixtures. The plumber did say the flushing mechanism in the low flow ones can be switched out with one that uses more water to flush.
Again, another fabulous post done in marker!
Too cute! Hope the toliet situation gets worked out! ๐
you have boys — do they even need a porta-potty????
Cute pics!! I love the stick figure drawings in your posts!! Fun to read…
Sorry about the toilet issues though….Our toilet’s normally clogged because either my four year old or two year old has stuffed something in it. Maybe I should make them us the porta-potty until they can leave the real deal alone……..Hmmmm
Hmmm. If that link doesn’t work, pick one up from my sidebar.

This post totally deserves a Stinking Bugger Award. I’d love to see Holly’s dog operating the portaloo (as we call them).
Toot toot!
I’d hate to see my child in your unflushable bathroom. I do think girls are worse at this. We have threatened her life if she doesn’t stop using 1/2 a roll of TP in one visit!! We have normal potties but that much TP will even stop up the insustrial style potties.
Love the drawings!
I always blame the kids. It always seems like it is their bathroom, or a bathroom that they just walked out of. Maybe it isn’t their fault, but, while I am plunging, yet again, I blame them anyway.
