Bathroom was a Portapotty somewhat loosely tied down, mainly held down by the weight of a couple hundred guys' piss. As we started banking to land, Company Commander says to me, he says, "Canecutter, that Portapotty's fixin to tip, pick up your shit and hold your legs up, pass it down." We all did. The other unit facing us, we tried to warn them, they just squinted back and shook their heads, left all their backpacks and gear on the floor. Then we banked more, and the Portapotty tipped. Their way. River of piss splashing all over them and their stuff. Banked our way-- flowed underneath us, packs dry in our laps. Thus started two very different experiences in Camp Darby, Italy. The portapotty on “our” C-47 was well secured.

June 16, 20214 yr I’m relatively confident that damn near anything goes in say Oregon. Having said that, if you had read the entirety of the posts weed was only a part of it. I mentioned off their meds or abusing them, this is often the case when someone is losing it, and weed is a well known gateway drug. I think it’s a combination thereof. Regardless, it has a distinctive smell, and it’s nearly universally present in my experiences with disruptive passengers. I’ve had these conversations with coworkers several times before. The tie one on and go fly model of surviving airline service and seat pitches seems to be falling out of favor for showing up blazed and worse. As an aside, you will rule the world if any one of you MF’s figures out how to make weed smell like menthol, a swisher sweet or the like instead of microwaved skunk anus. Ha ha ha There are people partaking in all sorts of weed shit all around you and you have no freaking clue. Edibles, vape pens, tinctures.And none of them stank like skunk, not your lawyer, or your doctor or your server or handyman.

And probably make it a felony for disrupting a fight punishable by jail time and permanent ban on gun ownership. The same kind of person who is willing to try and take down a plane probably has no compunction against walking into a church or Wal-mart and killing innocent people.
June 16, 20214 yr I gave a HELL no to taking a flight in a few months, let these cultists go berserk up in their flying People of Walmart carriers. We shall be saying things like "shall" and traveling by train. What, you gasp, is a train not full of similar human debris? Well yes, it is. But one rents a private room, far from the Irish down in steerage. They don't walk past at fart-to-nose level as in an airplane's "First" class, no, they never even set foot in your car. And if they do, you have a steward to give them what-for, a steward whose hand you greased with money the first moment you stepped onboard, and who will remember that in Johnny-on-the-spot manner as you relax, work, sleep, think refined thoughts, and take dumps in your private toilet, whatever takes your fancy.

June 16, 20214 yr Author We need to seriously upgrade passenger rail service. High speed regional service would solve a lot of problems.

June 16, 20214 yr Unless that smell is concentrated by proximity to a defensive skunk, I like a skunk smell. Reminds me of my youth and driving farm to market roads at night.

June 19, 20214 yr Yes, yes, I know SWA was not connected to TTA. What I’m saying is that TTA was the original “State airline” and was followed eventually by SWA.
