Great post Dave however there are a few issues i have with the demonstration though. Not to mention as a fan of mythbusters they disproved the lady stuck to a toilet myth. 1)The elapsed time the toilet flushes vs. the elapsed time to engulf the whole roll of toilet paper, at the given speed I dont believe they coincide. 2) Most tp is perforated for easy tearing, assuming that roll was a typical roll then the paper would have tore before being engulfed. 3) The video should have been split screen showing the paper coming down the hallway and an over toilet view. That being siad the force of the toilet suction isnt to be reckoned with as those of us have experienced.

The only bad turd is a turd that has yet to be laid.

I've never been on an airplane but a secret wish of mine is to take a shit on a plane because of the power toilets I've heard about. I'm not sure how I feel about a supreme amount of suction from a toilet though. Something about it frightens me. It makes me feel as if the toilet wanted more shit from me when I've given it all I got. I suppose I feel some accomplishment when I sometimes have to flush the toilet once more. I just like feeling that a toilet just can't handle my shit sometimes. It makes me feel like a giant most of the time, other times I just feel gross.

I never had the occasion to pinch one off on an aircraft throne, even though I've flown many times. To be honest, the noise in an airliner crap shack is loud and very intimidating. Additionally, the shape and size of a airliner shit closet is such that contortion of the body is mandatory to assume either position to launch ordinance (for a male anyway). I could barely relax enough to get a stream out of my piss pipe much less get a round out of my crap cannon with all the noise and folks waiting on me to finish so they could dump their own ordinance.

Now that's what a men's room is supposed to smell like!

I haven't pooped on aan airplane, either. I don't think I want to now. I've pooped on a boat, however.

SP, I used to rent a sailboat from the marina at the Navy Base in Long Beach, CA and sail it to Catalina Island for the weekend. I discovered that when I used the salt water throne at night in the dark (no moonlight), when I flushed it using the salt water pump the bioluminesence glowed green in the dark as the turds swirled out the bowl. When I first saw it I made all my buddies who were on the boat with me get up to see it. Some were amazed like me, one was pissed I woke him up for any reason, and one just pissed while he was up and went back to bed. I'd forgotten all about that until you triggered my memory.

I never been on a plane.

Either they did that more than once and spliced it all together, or they used at least three cameras. Which, I wonder.

I have pooped in an airplane bathroom and the hardest part for me was being in an enclosed tiny space and being claustrophobic but I manged to after talking to myself out loud, it was ok.

I've never pooped on a boat either. I pooped on a charter bus once. That...sucked.

I shat in a Dutch Train, no suction though, just a hole to the tracks! My shit log just stuck to the shit pipe

Shitting on anything smaller than a319 is crap. I feel sorry for the fat guys who have to dump on a crj or dash 8.

I have had diahrear on a plane. I actually apologized to the flight attendants before I went in. I tried flushing twice, hoping the toilet would suck some of the smell out on the second round.

To affect the quality of the poo, that is the art of life. ~Thoreau, sort of.

I fly quite often and have only had to shit on a plane a few times. BL is right about the smell. There is nowhere for it to go but out into the cabin. No exhaust fan + recirculated air + the squirts = bad day for all on board. I am in the middle of writing a poop on a plane story. Maybe I will finish it today while at work.

Number One . . . I order you to take a number two.

a couple of years ago, after a flight back to Sydney from London and sharing a handful of toilets between hundreds of people for 23 hours, i had to slip one out on top of about 80 strangers' logs, smeared paper squares and what not. the toilet had sucked so many turds back it was filling up and i was just about greeted with the top of the pile by the time i finally got in there at the end of the flight.
boy, i wished my poo cycle had worked out for me to go earlier in the flight.
there's something worse than sealing yourself into a tiny cubicle, immersed in shit tainted air particles straight after someone's snapped one off; it's sealing yourself in there after DOZENS of people have had deposited their precious packages...also, it's all made worse by those limp plane meals.

Shit just smells worse up there. Like the rotten refridgerator smell Never figured out why.

Just moved into a new place with close access to a great network of bike paths. People are always on the bike paths - biking, walking, strolling their kids, running with their dogs...

I decided to walk instead of bike today and as I was making my way around a lake, I noticed this dog coming around the corner ahead of me. It looked like a pitbull, dark brown. It was a pretty dog but I was a little unnerved because it was heading straight for me. Until I notice the owner, a really nice looking hot guy, following behind the dog toward me also. I definitely go for the eye contact. We exchange smiles as our paths cross, and move along on our respective routes.

I finish up with the lake & make my way back onto the bike trail where I see a pile of dog crap, laid down by a obviously decent sized dog. It was fresh too. I had a moment of disgust at people who don't pick up their dog's poop before I realized that it was the pitbull - I was sure of it. The owner, hot guy, looked like the type that wouldn't even think of picking up a turd - no matter who put it there. So I decided that he really wasn't that hot after all and I moved along.

About 40 minutes later as I came back the same way I had walked earlier, I had to pass that big turd again. It was still there of course, in several pieces, just like it had been when I passed it the first time. Only - as I approached, I noticed that something was different.

Someone had carefully pressed a green Skittle into the largest piece of the turd. There it was - bright green contrasted against the dark brown, cold, chunky, smelly dog pooh.

I stopped for a moment and pondered the irreverence. I walked away thankful for the total lack of couth. Instead of being peeved at the owner of the dog, I was happy that the dog took a crap right in the middle of the bike trail on a nice day - giving an opportunity to an unknown Skittle toting trail comrade to leave behind a sign to those of us who would notice and 'get it'. Thanks buddy!

Near my house, just as my walk terminates, I have to go over a rusty old bridge to cross a pretty little creek. I stopped for a second, still in the glow about that green Skittle. I leaned over the edge of the railing to see if I could spot anything good in the creek. Nothing. I did notice something on the rusted out railing tho. Someone had, in small letters no longer than 2 inches, etched the word FUCK thru the rust at the very spot where I was leaning. You'd almost miss it...unless somehow it caught your eye. I appreciated that kind of understated message so much that I whipped out my Blackberry and sent a picture of it to my daughter. She would get it. I know Skittle guy would get it too.

I think I'll walk the trail more often.

God Bless America.

Umm, did the skittle fall from the airplane loo? Where's the relevance? Where's the humanity??????

Godblessyoutoo.

Hey The AC, shit do smell worse up in a plane since there is less air pressure and the shit particles have greater mobility. The same reason why you smell flowers and plants more before a storm. Maybe that explains some of it, but I got no reason for the nasty refridge smell

What does all that mean????? Are you some kind of scientist or just a whack job???

Eat chilies and feel the burn!!

Impressive, for sure. What would happen if you stood in front of the cockpit and tossed a turd in the air while someone down the aisle flushed? Would the toilet suck it down? Imagine the possibilities...

a whackjob.

Anal Fissureman - I don't think it's a black hole... lamentable as that is.

Fantastic exchange!!! And I thought that I was the only warped person in the world.

Just wait until the blue room on an airliner becomes a pay toilet !

Vacuum suctioned to a airplane toilet might be good. Lose cellulite and not be so full of shit afterwards. Maybe we should put a few politicians up the in a plane after a dose of turbolax.

Oh Plop CopI am in awe. You are so fun.
