I was wondering why the water balloon was getting bigger... and then it hit me.

maybe that's where the expression to "take a crap" came from. Personally, I'd rather leave it behind...

The three-wheeler is an Italian Piaggio Ape - a bit smaller than a Cushman and with a 175cc engine.

Ideal for visiting the flat parts of Italy: not so ideal for the mountainous parts....

I really like the scooter. Speaking of.... Here's one that, though a tad bigger than even a TTT, that should handle hills and highways just fine. For the uninitiated, that's a Chevrolet V8 between the driver's knees.

This could go with the threads on where do you put the potty, going to pee in the night, trasportation around the camp grounds, the Chinese bike with the mini-RV on back, and maybe some others. Whatever, I like it enough to send it along on it's own. Hope you agree. Care to wite your own caption?

Since posting this I've been thinking (always trouble) and realized why I liked this so. A hundred years ago when I was little there was a comic strip with a side character who rode a tricycle with a little house on the back. I just caught a break and learned the strip was Joe Palooka and the character was Humphrey Pennyworth and the llittle house on back was indeed a "little house out back," an outhouse. Now, does anyone know of images or other memorabilia, where Google, Yahoo, and eBay failed? I'm becoming obsessed. Lordy must I now build one of these?

Well, I got really obsessive about that cartoon character and spent half the day at the keyboard checking Google, Yahoo, and eBay eight ways from Sunday and getting nowhere, so then ran it by my other forums. Ta-dah! Now I see why I was so taken with the little scooter. A hundred years ago when I was little I was taken with Humphrey's tricycle, even had the toy, thrown out when I grew up, well, older. It even turns out that the "little house out back" was just that, an outhouse.
