Thumbs up port-a-potty appreciation thread

We hate them, they stink and they are messy. But in the final analysis, they are God send, especially during large festivals and concerts. So here to you, our savior:

Very true. We all hate them... but they come in handy at concerts and such.

It's all about holding your breath and pretending there's nothing inside.

I don't care...if I gots to go, I gots to go. But believe you me, I'd rather let loose in public behind a bush or a tree before you catch me in one of those.

Have any of you ever wondered why the majority of them are colored blue???

When you gotta go, those things are just wonderful. I just make sure not to look down the toilet hole....I'd probably puke.

When my dad was first laid off years ago, he went to work for his girlfriend's brother-in-law who owned a porta-potty business. I know most people wouldn't admit their dad cleaned those things, but he made a helluva lot of money (more than he made working civil service on a marine base creating computer war gaming systems). It was temporary but he did manage to live quite well off the money he made cleaning those suckers out.

The porta potties at the race track where I spend boatloads of time (pit crew for a half-scale minicup car and a 72 camaro) usually aren't too bad and they even have dispensers full of that no-soap-needed hand sanitizer.
