Ever seen a portapotty floating away? Did the loo go round and round. . . round and round?

I uploaded some old pics of mine. This was done on a kodak 1.2 megapixel camera a couple of years ago. . .

This is a funny one. It was raining hard where we were living, and the large ditch severely flooded - and as I was watching - off floated this. . .

Damn. Thats a lot of crap out of that portapotty.

you usually find the floaters INSIDE the port-o-potty...

What gets me is those two houses just behind the ditch were just built and were for sale. Would you want to have one of those?

Working on barges for many years, I've seen dozens of them get washed or knocked overboard, or just plain dropped by the crane operator...(most of the time, the only way to get them to a barge, is to have a boat deliver them, then load/unload them with a crane) I picked one off the loading dock one day when we were in for supplies, swung it around to put it in place, and the rope they had it rigged with let go.....from about 60' in the air! Hit the bay and came about 4 feet from landing in one of our work skiffs tied along side...BOMBS AWAY! Fortunately, it was a brand new one, and never been used, instead of a fully loaded one...Wasn't much left of it...it pretty much exploded on impact.

Hell no. Even with damn good flood insurance.

I think these drifted in and out.

I've heard of them being picked up by tornadoes - what comes up must come down. :Q
