The story goes that the name supposedly was an acronym for the phrase <i>"Keep Your Bowels Open".</i> No one knows for sure if that was indeed the case <i>(and if there's anyone around nowadays who does, they ain't talking!)</i>, but that 'origin-of-the-name' tale has been repeated so frequently that the legend has become the <i>de-facto</i> truth.<br /><br />The company apparently went out of business or got bought out by a competitor sometime in the mid-1980s, but some 35 years later, the portable toilets on the bicycle ride are still referred to as 'KYBOs', even by newbies who hadn't even been born yet when the little blue spot-a-pots were the 'pause that refreshes'.<br /><br /><i><b>-"BB"-</b></i>Bicycle Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17050083414573635556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15663150.post-53286444162004119642020-11-27T19:29:29.130-05:002020-11-27T19:29:29.130-05:00There's a local pump company in Mendocino whos...There's a local pump company in Mendocino whose motto is /The septic whisperer/. It's Rick Ricca's A-1 Septic. The radio ads on KMFB many years ago, read by Texas-accented Late Night Liz, always mentioned as a selling point that he'd show up with his "trusty low-slung dog Yoda".<br /><br />And I don't remember where I saw it, but there was a newspaper ad for Jubilee brand toilet tissue. You know, like "Whee! What fun!"Marco McCleanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11102357113076810121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15663150.post-22685696185193608182020-11-27T16:38:14.333-05:002020-11-27T16:38:14.333-05:00Years ago, when the Pope visited our city, the man...Years ago, when the Pope visited our city, the many portable toilets set up at the outdoor religious service site were nicknamed "Vati-cans."Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15663150.post-22271000140531027002020-11-27T16:16:23.384-05:002020-11-27T16:16:23.384-05:00For extra credit, why are toilets often called ...For extra credit, why are toilets often called 'honey buckets' or some other thing having to do with honey?WTMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024322789706378715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15663150.post-34141073629366143292020-11-27T15:38:36.424-05:002020-11-27T15:38:36.424-05:00Our local provider is Pete's Potties.Our local provider is Pete's Potties.jonohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09357820440454534635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15663150.post-84674616262319567512020-11-27T14:53:34.944-05:002020-11-27T14:53:34.944-05:00The name isn't that creative, but I was long a...The name isn't that creative, but I was long ago at an event supplied by this company:<br /><br />http://www.toilets.com/eventrentals.htm<br /><br />and found their trademark registered motto "Porta-John – Out-Standing in the Field"® to be in one sense highly accurate.
