Well, according to what I was always told (AFU motto of the [time
unit]), port-a-potties were not called Kibos, they were called KYBOs,
an acronym for:

	K eep
	Y our
	B owels
	O pen


Reminds me of the story (and, of course, possible UL) when I was at
the 1985 BSA National Jamboree in Fort A.P. Hill, VA., and a friendly
little hurricane stopped by to pay its regards.  Massive winds ripped
through the campsites, blowing over tents and, yes, port-a-potties.
Supposedly, one occupied KYBO even blew over *door-down*.

Blech!
