I love this story -- it really captures the humor of small-town life, as the Werleys make a case for having a turlet in the back yard, ha! Great characters. A really fun read.

What a funny and wonderful small town yarn! The Werley boys, two hillbillies named Jasper and Delmar, insist on keeping an outhouse in their backyard. But the town fathers are insistent too--it’s time to upgrade to indoor plumbing. An ill-conceived prank goes disastrously awry, and the town's lawyer is on holiday again in Hawaii. What will Sue, the cute newspaper reporter, write about the fiasco?
The characters here are perfect. The frog-lipped town councilman, the slow-talking constable and of course the Werleys and their passionate defense of their backyard toilet. A classic, laugh-out-loud short story.
