(about 90 miles) I told him that I took DD and her friend to see the historic two story outhouse. He said he had to get his shoes on and he'd come get us. I laughed, "April Fools." We really were in Gays, we really had gone to see the outhouse, but we didn't have a flat and we weren't stranded.
(Illinois really does have a town named that and it really does have a historical two story outhouse---you can read about it on the web)
What a great April fools joke. A two story outhouse. I've never heard of such a thing.
Actually there's several around the country. This one used to be attached to a bldg. The owner built it so that the people on the second floor wouldn't have to go downstairs to "go." Pretty ingenious as far as figuring out how to make it. Pretty gross when you think about it. :lol: It's a little deeper than most, allowing for a extra wall behind the seats in the downstairs, the seats in the upstairs are set farther back than they are in the downstairs. One of the tiny park caretakers came by while we were there, unlocked it and let us look inside. It's on a concrete pad now and isn't functional.
