One a hot day in the middle of summer I set off in search of cemeteries. I stopped and asked these two old guys for directions.
They were pretty unhelpful in a Two Old Muppet Guys kind of a way. (I don't even think they were guys, to be honest.) Still, they had a lot to say and weren't afraid to talk about you to your face.
This was at the back of their field:
I did find a cemetery. At first I thought it was one of the very few I'd ever been to that didn't include something of interest. But then I found this in a far back corner:
It appears to be a primitive rest stop along an intergalactic back road. Notice the little UFO which has crash landed beside it? This is the first cemetery I've found with public restroom facilities. They were out of toilet paper.
By the way, I scored out as Gonzo on the quiz linked above. Are we surprised?

Gonzo? Yep I can see it! Love the outhouse pics....you always get to go to the bestest places.
FM - I love the phrase "sublime brilliance of an outhouse in the cemetery." Now that you mention it, maybe its not so od after all!
PPB - We have an extra room and indoor plumbing! Come on down!!
GONZO!? Oh Man. I will go take that test soon.... I'll let you know the results.
great story. I love the UFO. Aliens may have uses for old outhouses....
um... ya. me too. Gonzo. I was hoping for Beeker....
FM - You give me too much credit. I didn't realize it was misspelled! ha ha! (I am secretly trying to recruit trolls to hang out here so I can feel all up town and popular. Any takers?)
I'm so happy! I'm Kermit!
I cannot imagine an outhouse or other facilities in any of our charming old New England cemeteries. That is a great image.
Outhouses...
Our granny used to have an old outhouse. Never once were we told not to play in the outhouse. However, we weren't allowed to go anywhere near the covered/barricaded trash pit.
