Quite a few years ago, I was working on a Korean War era VA home owned by a guy who used to be a tail-gunner. I needed to turn off the power to the kitchen, so he showed me the fuse-box (yeah, fuses) which turned out to be right beside his workbench in the garage. There was one end of a cut off garden hose through the wall there, with a cork in it. Which he explained, was as close as he could get to the way the tail gunners relieved themselves in flight. And saved him a lot of steps per project… At his invitation, I stepped into the back yard and found that he’d actually drilled a hole in the sewer pipe, and the other end of the hose was tightly fitted into that hole.
