For the man on the go ( or Vince's next birthday gift ) .

[Jlaws]

I was looking thru my latest catalog from Northern Tool + Equipment , or as I call it (MY WISH BOOK ), and I came across this little item . I can see where it would come in handy for the guy that hunts or does a lot of camping .

But what made me LMAO , and boy am I glad I wasn't drinking a softdrink when I first read it , was the next to last line in the discription , which states .

QUOTE :
Not for use when vehicle is in motion

I'm about as redneck hillbilly as they come , but give me a break .

They also have a video of the item , but I was afraid to watch it .....

Check out the link below for the item I'm talking about .

Jess, I had to check it out, had to see what I wouldn't attempt while vehicle is in motion. Yep that is it for sure!

[vince_o]

I think Tony was in that vid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jess, Ole train man like you should be familar with something like that. I used to ride the train when I was a kid, and although the "potties" were inside the passenger cars, when they were used it was kinda like that, a "straight shot" to the tracks below.........

[Paulf]

Jess, that looks like something you should send to Jay Leno. I think it would make his headlines.

[Jlaws]

Paul B., yeah we have toilets on trains and we try not to use them when the trains in motion , but at least there inside the engine .
I've heard a few conductors cuss when we go thru a turnout while its being used .

I just find it funny that they feel that they have to print a disclaimer for it not being used on a moving vehicle . Sad that somewhere somebodys probably tried .
Sounds kinda like a ( Hey Bubba watch this ) moment .

The jokes are endless .
Try explaining to your doctor how you got that bump on the back of your head from hitting the rear bumper to how you got that nasty road rash on your backside ....

Paul F., I love Jay's headlines on monday nights , and your probably right about it making the show , send it in if ya want.

"I've heard a few conductors cuss when we go thru a turnout while its being used."
Jess,what is a turnout and why would it have an effect on the business at hand?

[Jlaws]

Mike a turnout is just another name for a switch . A good portion of our route is single track , but there are places where its double track ( goes to two tracks called passing sidings ) for meeting trains going in the opposite direction to pass . Some of our turnouts are 45 MPH and when your train takes the siding the engines make a hard turn one way entering the switch and then turns abrubtly the opposite way when they enter the other track , causing the engines to rock just a bit . You can hear the water sloshing around in the toilet , and if your not holding on to something it will make you lose your balance while standing .

[BigMike]

It hit my why they have to put that warning on there.............
cuz it aint got no seatbelt

[rweaver]

I think if you went on a turnabout like Jess said with that seat you might here sloshing but it would not be water my mind goes to some guys on here not hearing the dont use when driving warning like giving rides you might say

[l palma]

After reading all this I'm Pooped

[jglass]

Little old lady's first ride on a train, asked conductor to see bathroom, saw the crossties going back and forth says, I wouldn't use that, I would just sit down, and you guys dould go through a blackberry patch. LMAO
