What a hoot – I needed some good laughs today, and this provided them. Thanks.
It brought to mind a story from a good friend of his days in the Air Force. He was not a pilot, but worked at a base where new planes and devices were tested. According to him, the worst scream of agony that he ever heard, or that anyone there had ever heard, was the result of a malfunction in the tube designed to allow a pilot to urinate (as the song mentions). The pressure was such that if a pilot urinated, the urine flowed into some receptacle, but it was more or less free flowing. However, on the occasion in question, the device got pressurized and when the pilot began urinating he was subjected to almost unimaginable g-force, literally. It took a while to correct the issue – don’t know if the poor pilot got a disability discharge or not.
