Man, you haven't pee'd till you've pee'd into one of those funny
looking red plastic pee containers at 30 thousand in an unpressurized
cockpit on the way to a show site.

I wondered how the fighter pilots managed that sort of thing.

The author of "Wing Ding"--a rascal of a gentleman who was a B-17
tailgunner--told me the first time he saw a FW-190 he was suffering
from severe gas cramps and trying to take a dump in his flak
helmet--armor, mae west, flying suit, bunny suit, uniform, long johns,
all down-- and trying not to touch bare skin to metal.


Did that once in the tail of a DC-3. It was very very cold outside and I
went to the tail to pee, kneeling, in the bucket-with-a-hole-in-the-bottom
in turbulence and managed to touch it. ouch.
