I used to drive those lavatory trucks when I was a ramp agent back in the summer of 1985. One of the airlines we serviced was Air Portugal. Nobody wanted to empty the lavs on Air Portugal. Therefore, the job fell upon me.

One time the hose connection came loose and I was drenched head to foot in pretty much raw sewage. Fortunately, Hudson General, the company I worked for, had a chemical shower nearby.

I stripped my clothes off and took the shower. Meanwhile, my clothes were gathered up to be disposed of. I believe they had to burn clothing that was exposed to raw sewage like that. I had to wear some kind of nightgown until a new uniform could be brought to me. My supervisor was not angry. He was laughing. And so was everybody else. The nightgown drew a lot of whistles so I learned how the pretty women must feel when they get whistled at by low IQ men.

No offense but the people from Portugal tend to smell pretty badly. I also did not last in that job very long.

Years ago when I drove trucks, I on occasion delivered to AA maintenance at DFW airport (Texas y'all) A airport escort vehicle was required since I was inside a active airport.

During one delivery/unloading, I was told I had a phone call.

It was airport security or operations. Person wanted to know why I left my escort and went on my own way.

Me: *”Well, my escort drove under the wing and fuselage of a jet and went across the tarmac. Guess you could check the cameras.”

Heard nothing else about the incident.
