RAF - "BAGS CREW RELIEF"
IMG_0297.jpg
Here is a picture of a Piddle Pack I found when going through some old kit. It's 36 years old but happily unused!
I wonder if the design has changed much in the intervening years - I couldn't help but have a chuckle at the manufacuturer - Flexpak of Bristol.
I only ever had to use them a couple of times in extremis and happily never in a side-by-side cockpit!

I can personally attest to the uselessness of those sponge bags! They are drier than dehydrated toast. Ones physical relief on first using it are very soon overcome by the shocking realisation that the sponge isn't absorbing anything and the bag is rapidly filling, and then overflowing.
The newer crystal ones with the wide plastic snap together seal on the other hand are fantastic. Used to lob them at the jinglies.

I'm not ex Mil or ex FJ but I did get told an anecdotal story once by someone who was. I'm sure we all know someone who when passing by a bin, glances in and sees something that they think is too good to be in there and they could make a use of.
In the said tale I was told, the gentleman concerned saw what he thought was a good usable sponge in a plastic bag in the hangar bin and having 'salvaged' it then proceeded to clean his car windscreen with the thoughtfully pre-moistened sponge to the amusement of his colleagues who never said a word!

Nobody has mentioned deliberate dehydration before a dining-in, have they?
Having witnessed the dread sight of a chair being removed at the President's command, the owner having slunk off desperate before the Loyal Toast, who would risk the ensuing case of port?
My tactic was exactly one dry sherry at pre-drinks, having dehydrated all day previously. I have seen beer being consumed beforehand, and marvelled at the plumbing of the heroes.

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
LB, in keeping with the OP, our Canadian XO, F**** B****, a Maj in the CAF, resplendent in RCAF mess kit, complete with the tights and gold stripe and boots, would bring in a bottle of Drambuie, full when he came in and full when he left

"How the heck do you get your willy in that little opening?"
Little snippet, did you know Klingons as in Star Trek, use sanitary towels stuck to their heads under the heavy make up headgear that they wear, to absorb the sweat...
Not a lot know that...........or care

The Russkies seem to place a higher priority on these things - apparently the Su-34 has a urinal, no joke.
Do you think there might be room for one in a Tonka ?
