They got so used to that routine that even after having sewer drains installed and connected to the city sewer system, they still didn't flush for only No. 1. My grandparents were like that. Our home in Milwaukee was connected to the city system. But the house we bought in California in 1951 still used a Cesspool out back under the patio. But we soon had a regular sewer line installed and by-passed the cesspool altogether.

Yet, they still only flushed for No. 2.
