Entry 4450
Anywhere yo' see a mess - anywhere yo' be at an' yo' see where dey goes an' done dey [their] business, well yo' take dat an' yo' put it in a bottle. De top [cork in the bottle] wouldn't give it no air. Yo' go to de sap of [the] tree, [go] jis' befo' de sap goes up. Yo' turn dat bottle bottom upward in dat [hole]. Cut off a wood [peg] [and put] in dat tree [hole] tight as yo' could git it. Dey couldn't do anything [have a passage], an' when de sap of dat tree go up, dat'd blow dem up.
Human-waste retrieval follows the source's euphemistic 'mess' and 'business'; [have a passage] is editorial. The bodily effects remain unverified claims.
