Latrine monitoring

OriginWinter Camp XII (1988)
The StoryBack in the day, we had a contest for latrine sitting. The latrine was outside and generally you didn't want to be there any longer than you had to. The contest was tracked on a clipboard where one noted the time on the seat and number of sheets used. Sometimes people provided additional notes.

The categories were predictable: most time spent, least time spent, longest total visit, shortest total, and minimum number of sheets used.

The game went on a few years with occasional accusations of cheating that were mostly intended in good humor. Then, Mark Bollan--> reported a visit with zero sheets which was fewer than Jeff's. Jeff cried foul but Mark--> said he'd used the tube since there was no paper. Jeff was less than satisfied with this answer. For the following year, there was a complicated system involving computerized signons and the toilet paper dispenser appeared.
