The Outhouse aka an old fashioned Porta Potty
*
“When I rented the room, I did not think it would be this one! But its worked out pretty good after all.”
“Why is that?”
“Because this is the Portal.”
“What do you mean this is the portal?”
“What do you mean … what do I mean? This is the Portal. You know the gateway to another dimension?”
“You’re kidding? I’m not going in there!”
“Why not? It’s just a place where people do … well .. their thing. No big deal.”
“Yes, it is a big deal. And I’m not going in there.”
“Well then I guess you won’t be following me into an alternative universe then, will you?”
“Ah, come on. If anyone see’s both of us going in there at the same time, what are they going to think?”
“We’re in the middle of nowhere, what anybody are you talking about?”
“Okay, so we step inside and then what happens?”
“Well there’s a flusher installed in this one … so we flush.”
“We flush?”
“Yes, that’s what I just said, we flush.”
“Are you telling me we’ll be flushing ourselves into another universe? Seriously?”
“Look, I know it sounds a bit unusual …”
“… a bit unusual … a bit UNUSUAL?”
“Yes, but I think you’ll find it all works out in the end!”

The Why About This

Yes, well, thats one way of putting it! 🙂
Now that’s funny! Never thought of the connection between porta potty and portal.

like this frame, takes me to the place of light and reduces my wait.
Thank you! 🙂
It was funny, but I seriously wanted to know what was on the other side of the flush.
Another dimension of course, with absolutely nothing negative and everything wonderful!
“…works out in the end…” oh dear. Was that intentional? heh heh. Well done!
Yes, I’m afraid it was intentional, and I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Oh Penny, this was a hoot! “Flush me up Scotty” springs to mind 😀
Loved the dialogue between the two of them!
Thanks Lyn, that’s funny I like it “Flush me up Scotty!” a good one! 😀
Hahahaha— I was expecting where you went with that one. 😀
Glad it made you laugh, I admit I was laughing a little while I was writing, the idea does boggle the mind though! 😀
Flush me away…..
Too funny Ute … your words! 🙂
🙂
Had me laughing! Oh, and I needed that belly laugh! Thank you Penny for once again participating! I had another photo for this week, and then I remembered this one and the opening line came to me when I was sitting somewhere and thinking…Leave that to your imagination! I did not have a magazine with me! TMI! Kidding…I loved this and hope that others take part too! Stay tuned for next week’s challenge! Sure to be a good one! ^..^
