In what reads like a 21st-Century epilog to The Specialist, Indianapolis Fire Department rescue divers braved the Central Canal early this morning to rescue...a Port-O-Let. The convenience was standing in about five feet of water, near NCAA Headquarters* and was initially reported to be occupied. If it was, the hapless victim had fled by the time help arrived.
(And for those who keep track, it turns out a descendant of the original Specialist has, in fact, "specialized" in keeping his works in print. Now that's a legacy!)

JEAN SHEPPARD RECORDED FOR RADIO A NUMBER OF CHIC SALE STORIES IN THE 1970S
WAS PRESENT ONCE WHEN A PORT-A-POTTIE WAS MOVED BY A FORK LIFT WITH AN OCCUPANT PROTESTING TO BE RELEASED YOU HAD TO BE THERE
Dad once said that one of his proudest moments was upsetting a neighbor's privy on Halloween night while the neighbor was in it. The hook was that the neighbor had grown tired of his privy being upset every Halloween, so he was actually in there lying in wait, and was going to jump out and catch them in the act.
Which was a good plan, except that Dad and his brothers pushed the privy over on its door.
I seem to recall that Dad also said there were some butts warmed over this incident. But I imagine that, deep down, Grampa actually approved of the evening's work.
