Anyway, Wikipedia (of course) offers the following discussion: <br /><br />"The well-known crescent moon on American outhouses was popularized by cartoonists and had a questionable basis in fact. There are authors who claim the practice began during the colonial period as an early “mens”/ “ladies” designation for an illiterate populace. (The sun and moon being popular symbols for the genders during those times. Others refute the claim as an urban legend."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687192784861682991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-82399138723660626262010-02-14T11:54:43.876-08:002010-02-14T11:54:43.876-08:00cosmic outhouse!
