Today : the guest bathroom in Tex Ritter's ranch house, as seen in 1958
Tex Ritter (January 12, 1905 – January 2, 1974) was an American country music singer and movie actor popular from the mid-1930s into the 1960s, and the patriarch of the Ritter family in acting (son John and grandsons Jason and Tyler). He is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Tex was an inveterate joker, and the lid of the toilet cannot be lowered... a prank that was there to annoy his wife.
" Yeah, right. And then once, we went and visited the Mr and Mrs LaForge, and they're, like, from France, or Spain, or somewhere, and they talk weird, and sound funny, 'cos their French I suppose. So while Mom and Pop were talking to them about school, n church, n stuff, I had to take a wizz, and a went to their john, and you'll never guess what they had there...it was a foot spa...yeah, right there next to the crapper, and I ent "No Way", but it was, and I just had to take a picture of it. And so I asked Mr LaForge "that's a foot spa in your john, innit?" and he says "no, ma pet-eat, zat is a Bee-Day", and I said "What?". Them Frenchies, they're crazy.
