This is ACTUALLY posted on the outside of our town graveyard. The story is that some of our town "notables" of the undesireable sort attempted to bury their cremated relatives there--with a POST HOLE DIGGER! And they didn't even check with the commisioners first! As Anna Russell says, "I'm not making this up you know!"

 

The other sign just appeared in town one day:

As you can see, it's a small town with too many dogs. The controversy comes in with the grouch count. As originally put up, there was only one Mineral grouch. A huge debate ensued: was it the husband of the sign maker, Jim Hale, an excellent grouch candidate (and incidentally one of the graveyard commisioners)? However, it cannot be overlooked that Dick Dunlap, who runs the general store, is a certifiable Mineral grouch. It would be a travesty to have a grouch count which did not include him. Thus the sign was amended. It's a little hard to see, but it actually has the one scratched out, and replaced with a two. Debate solved!
