I'm guessing you don't have a wife and two daughters. :-)

One wife and one daughter. We were at the other
extreme: two adults, two teenagers, and one bathtub/
shower and a "powder room" (it's in quotes because
it's about 4 X 6 with a tiny sink). We had a pretty
rigid schedule that worked most of the time.

Ah, my condolences. :-)

....In these homes, I guess it's not a big deal, as
they probably just have the servants clean them. :-}

Especially in Texas :-) But I've noticed that even
relatively cheap houses are well-stocked with alimentary
plumbing nowadays.

I could say something about that being a reflection of the inner ...
er ... "fiber" of folks these days, but I'd better not.

And if you have that kind of money, I reckon it's handy
to have one within a couple of feet in case you get a sudden,
uncontrollable urge.

I get those most often when standing waste-deep in cold
water, usually just far enough out from shore that it
becomes a real race to get somewhere dry & hidden fast
enough...

Sounds familiar. It seems that no matter how recently I've relieved
myself, once I'm on the water (and wearing waders), I get the urge.

Gives new meaning to the phrase "a river runs through it".
