To those that are from the city and don't recognize what this building is, this is an outhouse. Typically, they are a building that straddles a hole. Then you poop over that hole saving it for future generations so they know what you ate.
But this is an atypical outhouse, for you see, the hole is right on the same level as the water table. So you could probably imagine the dilemma when they got out there that morning, to find out they needed to wear boots. Then later saw their dukey float down away as they left.
Then doubly making sure the building is attached to something to keep it from floating away. It is true that when nature calls you should answer it, but sometimes nature has a funny side, and this is kind of funny.
