Answer 3

That's where the old folk go to read their Sears and Roebuck catalog.

When I was a lad, about 60 years ago, nearly every one in our county had one. They had single holers, double holers, but ours was best, 'cause we had a three holer, with two buckets of corn cobs. One had red cobs, they was for wiping, and white ones, which were for checking if you did a good job of wiping.
