A young man wanted to invite his girlfriend to their farm but was embarrassed by the old-fashioned outdoor toilet.
He kept bickering his dad for a modern, indoor one, but the old-timer didn't want to give in.
Out of sheer desperation, he slips out one night, puts a lot of dynamite behind the toilet and blows the whole affair into oblivion.
The next morning at breakfast, his father asks him if it was he who destroyed the toilet and at the same time reminds him of the story of George Washington and the cherry tree.
"Yes, Dad," sighed the boy. "It was me."
"I'm glad you're so honest." said his father.
"And as punishment, you have to start digging the pit for a new one immediately."
"But Dad," protests the boy, "when George Washington admitted it was he who cut the tree, his father didn't punish him!"
"Yes, you're right," said his father. "But George's dad wasn't in the cherry tree when he cut it down!"
