looking at the size im thinking that you were very lucky! lol.
Actually, we'd zig zagged across the country so many times by the time I was ten, it was a pretty regimented deal: you let it be known you needed... "relief," and then waited for the next roadside rest, and that was "it."
Actually, that was about the best thing about those %$!?# "latitude and longitude" markers, with which Dad has such fascination.
"straighten up, and fly right"
what and nobody ever taught you kiddos how to whine in two part harmony? ive got to peeeeee....nowwww...
Well, I just hope "Wee Willie Winkie" ain't sittin' next to ME on my next flight ...
uh huh...do you remember the sunday drive mayonaise jars of our youth?
Naw, we used C-rations cans ...
Okay, so that might be a LITTLE bit of an exaggeration.... But we DID all have army surplus gear, from the olive green caps, to the mummy down sleeping bags, and all our cookware, and most of our food came from the Army Surplus store, as well.
Yum.

Seems airplane designers are getting ready to begin the installation of "pay toilets" on their planes, with which one may ONLY use a credit card to use.
Seems to me, they've not thoroughly thought this through, and there are going to be some smelly and scarcely populated airplanes burning fuel in the air.
I remember well the day of pay toilets in public places in the US, through the 70's, and the days of the smallest in the group having to crawl under the stall door to unlock it from the inside, and I know too, that pay toilets have been around since the ancient Greeks and Romans had 'em, but let's face it -- on an airplane, if you HAVE to go, you're pretty much looking at one of two options, and if you don't have the money OR THE CREDIT CARD, then you're down to one option, and pity the next passenger in your vacated seat (and the people sitting around you, or your youngster for that three hour flight.)
Even so, seems they've run out of ways to tack extra charges on to people flying these days, and so ....
Cross your legs! 'Pay to pee' on airlines is definitely coming
ahhh well it keeps ryanair in the media eye tho doesnt it? i think oleary stays awake at night thinking of things that are so outrageous that they are sure to get the medias attention. hes also the guy who came up with free flights on his flying casinos and ads on the luggage bins. i predict that everything he makes on this er...venture will be gobbled up in lawsuits that arise from forcing people to "hold it" or in combat pay for their crewmembers who are on the front line of this silliness. this might be an ok thing for a flight to manchester from london or belfast to shannon where holding it seems possible but imagine a shannon to rome? with all that guiness served? aiyiyi. just from a cultural aspect im thinking this would be a disaster. and lets hope they dont have any 3 hour ground stops at heathrow. lol bbc news alert film at 11. ill bet the cheapie air fare sounds great until they are actually locked in the plane with the carousing gamblers.

Put a cork in it: Ryanair's discourteous CEO, Michael O'Leary, stood up during a press conference in Dublin Thursday and confirmed that yes, indeed, he's going to start charging passengers when they need to go to the bathroom.
The so-called "wee fee" is no longer under consideration; it's in development. O'Leary has asked Boeing to design toilets that won't work unless you swipe a credit card first. So not only will you have to pay to pee, you'll have to do it on credit.
"Eventually it's going to happen. It's just we can't do it at the moment because we don't have a mechanism for charging you," said the Irish sadist. ...
