Little Jack Shit & His Box of Horrors
May I present to you… *drum roll*…
Da-daaa! The Shit Box! Yes, The Brown Corporation has designed a lightweight portable cardboard toilet which is handy for those times when you’re on the run, and.. ah.. have the runs. The designer, Richard Wharton, or ‘The Big Shit’, has taken 20 years to finally master the Shit Box. The idea sprung to mind after a festival in Glastonbury when he needed to ‘go’.
I was concerned that a cardboard box wouldn’t hold anyone over the age of 6, but no, they’ve tested it, and it can hold up to 127 kilograms. When you’ve done your business, you can then carry your load in one of the 10 ‘poo bags’ that come with it. The degradable Shit Box has the cutest mascot. Meet Jack (I’m guessing his last name is ’shit’) - he’s got nothin’ on Mr.Hanky. And the tagline is rather funny, too; “It also doubles as a handy stool… scuse the pun!”
I doubt I’d ever purchase a Shit Box, but I find it highly amusing. Plus I like any sort of product that includes a curse word in their title, like Dickheads - Australia’s answer to Redheads. Now I’m just wondering why I didn’t think of the Shit Box!
Big love,

yesterday my hubby was telling me a horror story about one of his employees who runs marathons. he trains daily, running long distances, sometimes 8-10 miles at a time. the other day, while running, he got the urge to ‘go’ and was still about 5 miles from home. he ended up having to do his business behind a bush in someones yard. i couldn’t help but think that maybe he should get a shit box. ha!
