Koohii stories:

1) [pmbeddall] 7-11-2007(173): In most communities you will be hauled into city hall if you use the ground as an outhouse.

2) [szreter] 4-4-2008(102): There is a secret hall buried in the soil underneath the outhouse.

3) [nilfisq] 4-9-2007(48): The smallest public chamber you can imagine is a public toilet (outhouse): always quite dirty. NB: see also public (#784 公).

4) [onoki] 10-4-2009(23): Used in school's dining hall 食堂 . Story: The food is so bad that you throw it to the ground and run to the outhouse.

5) [dihutenosa] 4-9-2007(16): Our town's public hall is really just a large port-a-potty sitting on a big mound of dirt. Imagine going to an election and having to trudge up a mound of dirt, then sit in a cramped, smelly port-a-potty along with several other citizens just to hear this week's minutes.
