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 the risk of enemy troops climbing up the poop chute though
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.
