Back in the day the fisherman ventured far out onto the frozen tundra of lake ice not realizing that they were too far out to look for a tree to relieve themselves when nature called. So with necessity as the mother of invention, enter a fisherman guy named...that's right - Bob.
Bob had been thrown out of his house by his drunk wife. Out of spite to her, he took with him their outhouse and fishing gear. Well as things go Bob ended up sleeping in the outhouse for some time.
With ice fishing season being his favorite, one cold morning Bob like the other ice fisherman looking for the trophy was fishing too far out on the lake and had consumed too much Beer and needed relief. He couldn't stagger the distance to some privacy to relieve himself so he went where he could- except it was 10 degrees with a wind chill of 5 below. With one gust of wind Bobs exposed package froze. Enter the necessity; while thawing out his unit, Bob came up with the brilliant idea of dragging his outhouse out onto the lake and using it as needed.
Well that isn't the end of the story, other fishermen hearing of Bobs story of his frozen package, too dragged their outhouses out on the lake in order not to freeze off theirs as well!
With evolution, the generations of fishermen on the ice stopped coming out of their outhouses on the lake and in time learned that the same hole in the outhouse floor can be used for other things... like fishing...and as a tribute to its inventor they named this evolved outhouse, you guessed it..."BOBhouse".
