    toilet

    I had always liked a customer saying that I could use the accomodations in the basement if the need should arise, only to find that it was a toilet planted in the center of a 20 foot wall, open to the entire basement. There would be NO modesty involved in that ordeal. I'll wait, thanks....

    whew...

    I was afraid of negative reaction due to the topic. It is, however, a reality of people in the trade. Especially with the dietary habits we share behind the wheel.

    When Ya gotta Go,...

    Ya gotta go. Try to hold, but like like being put on hold, sometimes you have to make the decision. It's call Human Nature. Everyone does it, if you can hold it, you are under the age of 40 or so...:-) Don't quote me on that one.

    PS. Now I gotta go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:-)

    Please clarify....

    .... did you use a toilet that was on display in Home Depot? Or use the bucket in the truck?

    All the Home Depot's around my area of Long island have bathrooms open to the shoppers.

    gag video

    There was a gag video floating around cyberspace of a guy that would go into a plumbing showroom and drop his pants and start making grunting noises while sittin on one of the display toilets.

    Was that you!?

    True Story

    Having been in the trades nearly thirty years you can bet I have a few jobsite and on the road tales regarding the natural function. The story that comes to mind though regards my dear departed Gram. She was a turn of the century dirt farmer immigrant from Ireland and never lost her roots sensibility. You know the type, they used to bring the animals into the house when it got too cold outside because the house had a dirt floor also.

    When we moved from "the neighborhood" in the late sixties my older brother stayed behind and lived with Gram because he attended a nearby city college. The old gal told my brother she needed a new bucket. He happened to notice that buckets were on sale at the local hardware store and brought her there.

    When they got there and she viewed the bucket that was on sale she announced, loud enough for all nearby to hear including the salesman, "There's no way I can pee in that tiny bucket in the middle of the night".

    My shocked brother had no idea why Gram was looking for a bucket. He found out in a hurry.

    I was told that on the large farming tractors, that is standard equipment.

    Bucket video

    is from the movie Jacka**. A guy holds it until he can't wait any longer, then goes into what looks like a mom and pop plumbing store. Drops trou, sits down with a paper, being filmed the whole time. Leaves a, leaves a,a a steamer in the bowl, gets up and walks away. Woulda been more funny had it been on one of those commodes up on a display riser at the local h-d, you know, with shoppers walking past and such.

    When the bucket

    that the cat litter comes in is empty my wife allways asks. Do you need a new litter box for the truck? Allways have one on hand and line should the need arise. When you gotta go you gotta go!

    lost a helper for a an hour once.....

    He was looking for an empty bucket.

    He found a light one with a cover that was sitting around the jobsite for a long time, a remnant from the spackle crew.

    So he opens it, with great difficulty.

    Only to find, yup you guessed it.... a stinky snickers bar, and lemonade.

    He had to go home because the smell of vomit on his shirt kept making him nauseous......

    As far as the bucket and bag thing, yeah, I do it too. I jump in the back of my utility body van, close the doors (black tinted windows), and I have a box of paper towels, and wet naps handy on the shelf. Then I just seal the bag, and look for somewhere to put it.......

    ALWAYS use good bags, like the ones at Home Cheepo marked "Contractor".

    As far as defecating in a display toilet, I saw that done on the **** movie, in a plumbing wholesaler's shop. I thought the counterman was going to tear him a new one...!!

    Scott, sorry but I think your THE ONLY ONE!!!! Dude, what do you eat? Last time I clogged it was the morning after eating all you can eat wings with some old college buds a few months ago. Whew!!!!!!

    My Dad

    He always had an old Milk gallon plastic jug in his truck with a big hole cut out on the side. He would just use the front passenger door as a privacy screen, empty his bladder and pour it on the ground.

    Old bladders are a ****, he always says.....

    You guys are SICK!!!

    3 or 4 times. It also cost me about $1.00 per swipe to wipe once:-)

    When you got the intesinal flu, and the urge to purge hits, you'd better be prepared. Makes irritable bowel syndrome seem like childs play.

    What was that song that was sung to the tune of the Oscar Mayer jingle...

    When you're running up to first and you think you're gonna burst DIARHEA, when you're sliding into third and you think you're going to turd DIARHEA. When you're running into home and you think your guts are foam it's the best thing to ever hit DIAHREA...

    Sick...

    Scott...

    Toilet paper is a LOT easier on the sphincter muscles than coat hangers...

    Didja hear about the constipated business man who couldn't budget? Tried working it out with a pencil and died of lead poisoning.

    Sick I'm tellin' ya!
