Memories that will stay with me (unfortunately)...

Pissing into a hole in the floor in a filthy, reeks-so-bad-I-have-to-breathe-through-my-mouth-to-avoid-vomiting bathroom in Mosul.  In the stall next to me, someone is slap-boxing the one-eyed champ.  The sound echoes through the tiled bathroom.  I finish pissing and flee the bathroom so quickly I forget to zip up.

Yea, I think I was there once.

So, there was this particular hole in Kazakhstan I had to use a couple of times. The nice thing about it, though, was that there was a book near it, presumably for some light reading while you're, y'know, waiting.

So I got in the habit of picking it up to practice my Russian. About the third or fourth time, it dawned on me that the pages I was practicing on were gone, torn out.

Took me a bit to figure out why. But, if you crinkle 'em just right, I hear you can get a good edge on the pages, y'know?

Sympathies.

You're lucky you don't have to squat all the time...

My two cents about being able to pee standing up instead of aiming blind in the squat position...
