You never know what you'll get in a box of junk from an auction.
Like a pot to piss in.
Sorry if that's blunt, but back in the day before the advent of indoor plumbing and bathrooms, lots of folks weren't about to take a walk in the snow in below zero temps, just to make a little water in the middle of the night.
And the saying "didn't have a pot to piss in" meant you were pretty broke if you didn't even have a pot to do your business in.
When I went through the box of auction items I hauled home last spring, I pulled out this cute little antique red and white enamelware pot, but really all I saw was a planter. It wasn't until after it sat on the steps holding a plant last summer that I realized what it really was.
The little red enamelware pot was actually an antique pot to piss in. Gross!
