There are two toilets at the ISS, both Russian-made - one in the US module and another one in the Russian one.

According to ISS commander Luca Parmitano, the toilet in the US section constantly signals that it is not working, while the one in the Russian module is filled to the maximum.

Union plumbers did the install, no doubt!

The service charges will be out of this world!

Must be The Wolowitz Zero-Gravity Waste Disposal System.

It's good not to be an astronaut.

I thought they could jettison into space. Tom Swift would have thought of that, I'm sure.

I hate being 220 miles above earth and having no place to go.

Do the toilets have some suction mechanism, for zero gravity conditions? And as another here noted, don’t they dump into space? Or is that not allowed for environmental reasons?

Crap! That’s gotta be a downer.

[Grampa Dave]

This sounds really crappy!
