No it doesn't does it? Now we are the old men. Been on base lately and seen the kids they have flying now?

I will tell you all that you do not want to try and piss in a bottle that is not vented. Old prostate or not, you can't build enough rail pressure to force the liquid into the bottle. It can get interesting once you've pulled the trigger and realize your going to have to break the seal your equipment has on the neck of the bottle. Turbulence makes it even more fun.

This is the voice of experience, so you all pay heed... haha

LOL!

You guys are all making it VERY difficult to keep ones composure @ work.
Twice now, I have almost spit coffee all over my computer screen while reading about your wild and crazy experiences with natures call.

I also agree, the gel packs are the perfect answer for those long XC flights.

Im still laughing @ Gump and AKgrouch's stories.

guess i'm boring, but i simply slip/spin down and land upper loon
and use the outhouse....!

Bumping this hall of fame thread (thanks, Gump, for the link). This story is about a commercial flight, but it'll do for a thread bump.

A buddy of mine was traveling home from an epic week at a PGA tour event, beyond hungover, in the back of a tiny commuter plane with no bathroom. Montezuma came calling and he had nowhere to go. He told the passengers in the few rows in front of him that "something unpleasant" was about to happen, and suggested they may want to move up. He then grabbed the airsick bag, perched himself on the back row of seats, and tried to squirt into the bag. In his words, "it was like trying to blow a milkshake into a straw." He spent the last 30 minutes of the flight with the entire back half of the plane to himself, with only his shame for a seatmate.
