14 May 07 - 06:33 AM (#2051311) Subject: BS: New Union Benefit From: JohnInKansas Scroll Down to Third Article Attention passengers — Bulgarian train engineers have been given rotating chairs so they can urinate out of the locomotive's window without having to stop. The engineers' union had complained that, on some older trains, there were no toilets and they were forced to pee out of the windows, the Ananova Web portal reported. In response, the railroad agreed to fit the special chairs so the driver can turn and relieve himself out the window without having to get up from the controls. This innovation must also have added benefit of encouraging train riders to step away from the edge of the station platform. No comment. Do with it what you will. How many words rhyme with pee?

There are of course some oldies about the hazards of eating yellow snow, and I think I recall one some years back about "don't eat the blue ice," but this has some referents other than sled dogs that could be incorporated. One might also touch on the "sexism" implied by the lack of mention of a proper "modesty screen" for those who might be required to "reach" further. (But that could apply to some of either gender?)

14 May 07 - 10:39 PM (#2051952) Subject: RE: BS: New Union Benefit From: JohnInKansas I am reminded of a Coast Guard agent who used to give public relations pitches at the boat shows around my area. He urged that every boater should always have at least one beer can on board. As "drinking while boating" has about the same reputation as drinking while driving, this usually gave him the opportunity to cite the statistic that 80 percent (or some such current number) of drowned boaters the the CG had to pull out of the lakes had their fly open when recovered. Trying to piss over the side rail, lost their balance, boat in motion gets too far away to catch, and you're dead. Pee in the can, and pour it over the side. (But no fair using baggies from a train.)

I have one "gentleman" of my acquaintance who was mightily miffed when the Co-Op milkmen stopped using the nice, tall, widemouthed bottles and went over to the stumpy, narrow-necked Unigate variety. Aiming was never his forte. LTS |

11 Jun 07 - 06:05 PM (#2074088) Subject: RE: BS: New Union Benefit From: Mooh It's fairly common for truckers to pee into juice bottles (wider lids) then pitch them into the ditch, or at least one was nailed for the offence (littering?) recently. Just how does one handle a radio, burger, penis, cd player, steering wheel all at the same time? Peace, Mooh. |

You'd have enough left over to light a smoke, turn the pages of a magazine and flick the remote. However, you'd have to scratch yer arse and change gears all on yer own. |
