One of Myrtle's guests made himself renown with a spectacular event involving the outhouse at Rainbow Lodge. This gentleman decided that he needed to clean a stain from his suit so that he could wear it on a trip down to Vancouver. In the absence of cleaning facilities he decided to use gasoline. When finished, he threw the soiled gas rag down the outhouse hole. Well, it was this gentleman's habit to smoke in the outhouse and the next morning he casually pitched his still-burning cigar down the hole.

The explosion blew him right through the outhouse door and pitched him into a pile of dirt on his face. As the gentleman's neighbours rushed over to pull him from the rubble, he turned to them and exclaimed, "It must have been something I ate!"
