Dreamer's note: I apologize most sincerely for not typing this one sooner. I remembered MUCH more of it this morning but I didn't remember to type it up until this evening, so I have forgotten a lot. Sorry about that.
I was visiting my Grandpa and Grandma Obermeyer's house but they weren't home. I knew where the key was, but the only reason that I really would need to go inside was to use the restroom (since they weren't home). However, there was a sign on the door that said "Bathroom out of order--use outhouse." So I walked over to the outhouse to do my duty.
When I walked in, I noticed that this outhouse had actual plumbing. That was a plus, because it would deter from the utter grossness often associated with outdoor restrooms. But as I neared the toilet, I noticed that whoever used it last had a nasty case of diarrhea and not all of it had gone down when it was last flushed. There were a bunch of those little tiny poo chunks floating around in the water. I thought "No big deal--I'll just flush, take care of my own business, and be on my way." Well, before I could do that, Eric Astrada and Patrick Duffy came in and knocked down the walls. I was a bit upset with them for doing that, but before I could say anything, Patrick yelled "Pizza time!" and he whipped out a Papa John's pizza, which just so happens to be my favorite kind. He sat the box down on the toilet and we dined under the midday sunlight.
After eating for a while, I noticed that those floaters in the toilet weren't tiny poo chunks--they were MAGGOTS!! I told the other two but they didn't care, because they had already eaten their slices. The only slices left to be maggot-infested were mine. So it was of no concern to them. I ate as quickly as I could and did my best to blow the maggots off my food (I wasn't going to TOUCH the things).
Then Eric began telling us a tale of when he was younger. He, his mother, and his two sisters were crossing a creek one day when the bridge collapsed. Thankfully he used his gymnastics training to carry them across while walking on a two inch thick metal beam that spanned the creek.
