Waaay OT: Have you ever been THAT scared?

[Orrin]

I never drive when my bladder is full as I've been told it can burst on impact and then you got real problems.

One night we were called out to a really bad car wreck. It was Saturday night and everybody had been beering it up. After all the smoke cleared and the blood dried, the biggest piece of one guy's bladder was the size of a nickel. He didn't survive.

That was back in the days when anyone with a driver's license could run an ambulance service. Times have changed.

I was at some military-type show standing next to one the M-1 Abrahms tanks talking to one of the tank crew. Some how the topic got around to doing yer thang while in the tank. Basically in the heat of battle and nature calls, the guy said you just do it in your shorts and continue on. Recounted some story of guys in a jeep or the like leaving a battle area. One of the guys insisted on getting out to do the #2 against the extremely strong advice of the others in the vehicle while fleeing the area. Needless to say that guy never got back.

When ya gotta go, ya gotta go, no matter what it takes ...
