The difference between an outhouse and a porta-pottie

At some point in your mortal life, you are likely to ask you self the question, "Is this toilet an outhouse or a porta-pottie? What is the ultimate destiny of my excrement?" You may ponder this for a while before reaching your conclusion. Or maybe you are not like me, and you don't really care. If so I give you permission to read something else. Perhaps my post on alternative swears?

As for the rest of you, this important question will finally be answered! 

A porta-pottie is typically made from plastic, and at the end of the warm season is taken away by a truck, off to unknown distant lands, to fields where people who don't feel like going in the woods wait, impatiently.

An outhouse however, is more sincere. It is a small wooden building with a toilet over a hole in the ground. The outhouse, unlike the porta-pottie, is here to stay, built to last. The waste deposited there will return to the earth and continue with the circle of matter. As for the waste in porta-potties, who knows where that stuff goes?
