I was visiting with some relatives and Jim Gray (who recently celebrated his 80th birthday) and I drove out to where the old homestead farm was. It had been sold a few years before and the new family had made a number of changes. I mentioned that I was disappointed that the new family had taken down the old outhouse. That reminded Jim of an event from his childhood. He said the popular prank on Halloween was to tip outhouses over. His mother would not let Jim and his brother join his friends in doing that. So Jim and his brother went out a couple of hours earlier and moved some outhouses a few feet.
The next day, he asked his friends how the outhouse tipping went, and his friends said they fell into a couple of holes and had to stop early.
