Peace on Earth

Bouse House, Port-a-Potty, Sani-Can, Port-a -Jon, Port-o-let, Port-a-San, Porta-Potty, Shit-Shack, Port-a-John, Outhouse

This is usually not the first place people think of when peace comes to mind. Even though most people can say that they have necessitated depositing a #1 or #2 in one of these receptacles at least once. Most people think of the portable toilet as nothing more than a foul, waste filled, feces ridden outhouse. I agree, because that's what they are. They remind me of some sort of rocket ship capsule.

For some people, namely those who work construction, the Bouse House can be a place of refuge and serenity (ironically, Serenity is a brand of incontinence products). You see, construction sites are sweaty, dusty, loud and dangerous: an ever changing work place. And with all that change going on around you every day, one thing stays constant, the shit house. One can always find some peace in a port-a-potty.

And to that effect, check this video from japan, it's nuts. Watch the end too....

Desert storm: Part 2


It was a beautiful day, sunny, mid 70's, and dry. We get off the plane in Long Beach and our ambassador was there to meet us with open arms and an empty Volvo station wagon.

The entrance:

We're waiting there at the loading area and we see him round the turn. We go to the outer median to intercept him and I'm trying to motion him into a space so we can load up. He sees me and instead of turning in, decides he will just park the car in the middle of the three lane passenger pick up. There weren't even any cars blocking him. At the time, I'm like "what the F is he doing, parking in the middle of the road!!?", then I remembered who was behind the wheel. I thought he might have panicked and just parked the car, but then that was too simple, he saw me, it was a statement. Just the fact that I was standing there motioning him into the spot was reason for him to park in the middle of the road. Hilarious.
