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

Happy anniversary to the Erfurt latrine disaster!

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