The Night Pot

If you get old in Germany, and in the night you have to pee, remember, they have a tradition to master this nocturnal mission, a pot of porcelain is placed under the bed, the handle faced toward the user, who then drags the implement, and two small rags from under into open view, this doubles as convenient loo. It saves you running, mad and madder downstairs while bearing a full bladder, the outhouse also harbours spiders and other shady, insect hiders. The dunny (it's the Aussie loo) is for the day, one for the crew the other for the upper classes and for their privileged fat asses. The night pot though is not well known and rare the family to own such practical and handy catcher, I think the British Lady Thatcher was given one by Chancellor Schmidt who also used the thing for sh**t. One CAVEAT, I need to mention, when using pots, do pay attention, your aim depends upon the length and also on your felon's strength. Once finished, shake with some finesse thus you prevent the smallest mess. But, when you slide the pot again beneath the bed, first push and then assess position so it stands at most the distance of two hands away from clumsy, tripping toes, believe you me, I'm one who knows.
