A long time ago during a flight from YMMB to YCxx, the low temperature and some anxiety about the flight got to me. Needed a leak urgently. One of the passengers flew while I directed it into a sick bag, pretty much filled it, almost a meniscus, then the other passenger held it after folding a lip at the top.
Landed at Cxxxx and needed some Avgas. The local aero club had some but wanted cash only. They told me that someone else from Moorabbin had submitted a bogus carnet card recently so they weren't going to honour mine and they told me that with a message that they were the boss and I could get stuffed.
We didn't have much cash between us so decided to depart and refuel elsewhere but not before leaving the full sick bag resting on the ground right next to the steps to the aero club. Hope no one picked it up to explore the contents.
