Option B seems a lot more pleasant in my opinion -- just imagine trying to clean out the cesspit, or perhaps you forgot to and the castle came under siege and now it's crawling up the fluke to the latrine

We're not even going to talk about the fact that in the illustration of Option A, the person in the latrine doesn't have a way in or out and is actually walled-in stone

This implies that the way in and out is through the cesspit

Option B has a goat.

Happy anniversary to the Erfurt latrine disaster!

It has been exactly 840 years as to why we have discovered Option A was bad

If they climbed up the poop chute to take the castle they deserve the castle

History in the making:

It is likely that the humiliation of Château Gaillard played a part in the decision of English barons to challenge King John. That in turn led to one of the most important events in English history: the sealing of Magna Carta.[1]

That’s…

On the one hand, you get to be the guy that let everyone in and ensured victory. Couldn’t have done it without ya.

On the other, you crawled through shit to do it. You’re now forever the battalion’s shit crawler, and probably smell like it even when you don’t.

You’d be both celebrated and ridiculed til the end of your days.

I turn the tide of the war but am I called tide-turner Terry?

Be quiet turd-tunneler Terry.

How do you even add that to your regimental colors? If a commemorative medal is struck, what does it look like?

Option A is about job creation. The Poopsmith was an important part of the working class.
