reminds me of commercial, guy in need pulls into gas station in a panic. Bathroon locked. Little kid inside playing with guns and holster in front of mirror.Meanwhile guy outside bent over in misery.
Reminds me of my Dad. We used to drive from Mass to Chicago for Christmas to visit family. He would only stop every 4 hours to fill up the tank. That was our one and only bathroom break!
Hmm… I’ve heard the stat that the human body is 90% water… looks like even 80% is much too high for most adults, though it might be closer for a young’un like Calvin.
In Japan, if someone’s kid had that problem we would wait for a station, pull open the door on the side opposite the platform, and let him go “oshiko.”
I’m not sure what they would do to a kid but theses days if an adult male is caught answering the call of nature he will be branded a sex offender even if the only person that saw him was the cop.
Reminds me of Forrest Gump when he drank a huge drink from 7-11 I forget what it’s called, and then couldn’t get his zipper open so he had to sit for hours needing to go and when someone asked him how he was he said “I got to pee!”
We were on a cross-country trip and had been on the highway for about 10 minutes when my four-year-old started in with “I need to go to the bathroom.” Of course, the “we just finished lunch, I asked you if you needed to go before we left” statement did nothing.
I pulled off at the next exit and stopped under the golden arches. She brightened and said, “Are we going to get a happy meal?” “No — bathroom.” “Fries?” “No — bathroom.” “Apple pie or ice cream?” “NO — BATHROOM!!”
She heaved a sigh and said, “So I guess this is just a McPotty stop, huh?”
It’s been in the family vocabulary ever since. Even people who have never the term know exactly what a McPotty stop is.

That’s why you should keep an empty Gatorade bottle in the car.

This reminds me of a short story where this man was given a way to escape jail. And he did too.

At least guys have the advantage of being able to do it discreetly; they used to call it “checking the back tire.”

I’m surprised his parents didn’t enforce the “Car trip Rule”: GO before you Go!

If he’s 90% water, then, what’s the remaining 10%?

Before I donate blood, I drink water for most of the day. Nothing else. No fizzy drinks. No warm drinks. Just water.
I felt nauseous last time after drinking it so much but when you have tricky veins like mine what else can you do?

There is nothing so bad, that an “I told you so” can’t make it worse. Thanks dad.

There’s a device for women in similar situations, called a “she-wee”.
