Outhouse tipping

Outhouse tipping is a prank consisting of overturning an outhouse, usually onto the door.

Allegedly it used to be performed as a revenge for not being given a treat at Halloween.^[1] Legendary versions of elaborate outhouse pranks have been preserved in the histories of various schools, towns, and communities.^{[2] [3]}

The prank itself is a topic of a joke. For example, in 1992, during the annual North Kansas City Snake Parade, a course in "Outhouse Tipping 101" was given in an open-air classroom.^[4]
