Portaloos

Years ago holed up in the desert waiting to invade a foreign s**thole i made the observation that the little Arab chap who driv the honey sucker was a creature of habit and would bowl up every morning at around 0700 - 0730 and clean out the portaloos leaving a pristine crapper which I quickly attuned my daily routine to so to speak. I got used to boldly going where no man had gone before until one day something changed. As things progressed we'd get lots of shipping containers of all sorts of kit and problem was we didn't have enough lifting assets so we used a local crane hire company whose cavalier approach to health and safety was borderline insane. Basically they would lift the containers with one chain suspended to diagonally opposite corners. With a bloke on top of the container acting as banksman as we were in a bermed enclosure so the crane was outside the berm. Now you wouldn't want to be underneath the container let alone on it if that single chain broke.

A few days pass and I'm back in trap one one morning and I hear the crane trundle up the desert and a lot of clanking and whirring, then.... then it goes very dark. The f**kern container has swung over trap one 😬 And thus did follow the fastest completion if paperwork in military history.

anyway, imagine the fellers surprise when he exitted this portaloo ...
