Historic Outhouse Takes It's Final Crap!

In nearby Dunnellen, FL., a sudden, notable and tragic event happened that will change that town forever. A palm tree and an outhouse made the headlines on the local Internet newspaper. WWW.Ocala.com has reported that the tree fell on the outhouse sometime this past week.

Now this wasn't just any outhouse. This outhouse was a three seater. I never knew there was such a thing. Anyways, I guess some people were pretty upset about the whole thing. How sad. Seems it dated back to 1903 and was the last of its kind.

The outhouse was located at a Realtor in the historic district in Dunnellon.

The tree was a mature palm and it is believed the tree was infected by a fungus called ganoderma. The fungus usually attacks older palm trees and is a mushroom type fungus. The infection is otherwise known as, now wait a minute....are ready for this....."BUTT ROT." How ironic. No I'm not kidding, that is actually the common name for the infection.

Now I don't know how many people have actually seen an outhouse before, but I have. I remember my grandparents had one on their farm in Alabama. It was located pretty far away from the main house as is most of them. I never saw any one use it since the main house had "indoor plumbing." I used to be afraid to that if I opened the door, that something would jump out at me, like a snake or maybe someone could be hiding in there.

Don't you know that when I was a kid I used to actually be afraid of the toilet. When I flushed it, I would actually take off running. I bet my parents thought I was crazy. I don't know why I was afraid of the toilet. I wonder what you would call it...commodaphobia, toilet-phobia, pooperphobia, crapperphobia.....who knows.

In any event, I guess you could say the outhouse is all crappped out. HA!HA!HA!
