For the connoisseur of off color wit or the double entendre... this post is a target rich environment.

Small yachts are now required to have holding tanks; enormous ships discharge the minute they leave port. I will never forget the “porta potty” that slipped its nest underway in a little 30 footer. USCG regulations strongly favor power driven vessels, (even inland rules of the road,) and the biggest ones at that.

“I must go down to the seas again
To the lonely sea and the sky
And all I ask is a tall ship
And a toilet that works.”

Naw. Just not the same.

“Captain! We are out of torpedoes and shells for the gun! The British destroyer is going to ram us! What should we do?”

“Fire the Turd-Tosser!”

Boom!

Splat splat splat

“Good lord, Smithington! I believe they are shooting turds at us!”

“That’s not very cricket is it, Captain.”

“All hands on deck, on the port side! Bring us in close to him and have the chaps pee on him!”

In the Navy we refer to them as ‘brown trout’. There are a lot of important things one used to learn on warships -

1. reducing valves fail and that urinal becomes a shower; a toilet becomes an enema machine.
2. hot water comes from steam heating cold water. Never jump in a shower without turning on the water first to verify it’s not just steam.
3. pipes rattling in a head is normally due to a slug of steam making its way toward your shower nozzle. Get out fast.

Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you just can’t get ahead.

For a toilet?

No wonder they lost the war.

They were crapping in their weapons.

I can understand that. On my first ship, a CVN, we developed a steady 3 deg port list that the engineers couldn’t correct by pumping water/fuel to stbd tanks. Turns out many voids and capstan machinery spaces on the port side were filled with CHT (sewage) from failed piping. The engineers must have rewound my capstan motor four times during that deployment. We also lost one young Petty Officer who was scalded by steam in the shower. Everything can kill you on a ship or submarine.

Well, I was never on a German submarine, but I have dropped a few “depth charges” in my day...

On that SSN the first time I took my 15 second shower I thought I was going to cook myself like a lobster.
