You can’t beat my home state for natural beauty. You also can’t beat us for sophistication! See? My neighbor has a new outdoor toilet. And y’all were just expecting a hole in the ground!! Now, in case you’re wondering WHY there is a toilet in my neighbor’s front yard…., We have what is called “big trash” or “large junk” removal three times a year, and the next one is coming up soon. Either that, or the green porta-potty color clashes too much with his car! Homer and Jethro singing about how it used to be:

My dad had one with flowers in it at one time. He was always trying to show he was a hillbilly

@porwest — sure, why not? If you keep it hooked up it’ll water the flowers with just a flush!

Or to borrow from Jeff Foxworthy, if you mow your yard and find your missing toilet, you may be a redneck!

@FourWalls Actually you bring up a good point. I think you are right to question this. Hmm.

@prinzcy — it’s not “full.” Our toilets are hooked up to sewer systems, and the waste goes into the sewer system, it doesn’t remain in the toilet.

Hey, maybe he's gonna grow something in it. Not too far from mom's old house some body turned an old toilet into a planter. Thank heavens not too many people does stuff like that.

We have some who have used an old toilet for a planter and another used one as part of their Halloween decorations. They finally got rid of it after a couple years. The things we see along our rides.

I think the funniest thing I’ve seen is the live bait machine that looked like a coke machine. Only in Kentucky!

I used to LOVE trash day. You could drive around scoping out what people were throwing out and watch people stopping in their trucks and cars and loading up someone else's trash for their treasure! They discontinued that in our township. Now you have to haul your stuff to a drop-off point. What fun is THAT?

We still get that. In fact, I had an old metal shed and a guy stopped and helped me take it down because he wanted the scrap metal!

Well, at least it was not planned to be a permanent fixture, although I have seen the occasional toilet planter outside someone's house. That's definitely unique if not a little bit of a crappy idea. lol

Hopefully, it won't be there for very long. The new neighbors on our right decided they'd leave their old toilet sitting against the house in their front yard. They planted a tomato? (I think.) in it. It looks... different. If I think of it tomorrow, I'll take a picture of it and show you.
