The Outhouse Incident

Sister Evelyn recounted the following story about Wally.
She said that one day he came riding in real fast on his horse, jumped off and made a made dash into the outhouse. (That was the extent of the available facilities for someone growing up in the 1920's in Escalante, Utah). Nature was in a hurry to get things going so Wally didn't take the time to tie off the reigns on the horse but simply ran them through a hole in the outhouse door and sat down to take care of business while tightly holding onto the reigns with one of his hands. Something spooked the horse and it  jerked the reigns slamming Wally's hand against the outhouse door and breaking several of his fingers in the process. Ouch!!!!
