Easy - I once asked my Dad what the interior colour was on the Wellingtons he flew in during the War. He looked at me oddly, then replied "It was a sort of 'Piss Yellow'". I suspect this means Yellow Zinc Chromate would be a good match, if thinned properly. I *don't think* he thought I meant the inside of the Wellingtons he might have had on his feet, but I suppose that could be another sort of "relief device".
One more thought - where is AZHosers these days? He'd be all over this kind of super-realistic detail effect.

It goes into a bag and then it's chemically gelled for removal after flight. During WWII, it could have been good if they could expel the urine while an enemy was on their tail. :-)

Mad-Modeller - 17 May 2008 06:17 GMT > http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/05/16/airforce.relief/index.html Several years back we were arguing (tongue-in-cheek) about the very subject. Did we ever arrive at a concensus on the colur of the relief tube on the Farley Fruitbat?

After taking care of business while sitting down, I usually have to stand up and finish emptying what's left. I usually tell people that I can't put out a small campfire with pee unless I am standing in the campfire. :-)

Since then, I found out that a cup of pomigranite juice goes a long way in relieving the problem. Unless you have a tumor enlarging your prostate (let's hope not!), this juice will help control the swelling of the gland. I usually have a glass a day in the morning.

And side effects of eating pomegranates from Greek mythology: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persephone It would be interesting to know how this ties into the Eve/apple story, considering that "pomme" is French for "apple", and "pomegranate" means "seeded apple" in Latin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomegranate. Recently, I bought a bottle of Pomegranate-flavored 7-Up...which taste a lot like standard 7-Up although brownish in color. We seem to be facing the opposite sides on the coin here. Given the fact that the erectile tissue of the penis is anchored to the pelvic bone, the once spectacular reach and diameter of my phallus has been reduced to small proportions indeed as weight was put on, and sitting down on the toilet to urinate seems far safer than trying to stand up and do it, if you don't want to see the urine stream drifting all over the place as you pee. At age 25, I could write my name in the snow with the majesty and skill of John Hancock...today, getting it all in the toilet bowl without sitting on it seems like a major triumph that doesn't require stealing your host's toilet paper to fix up any aberrations in aiming. It's that damn scrotum - the penis gets shorter with increasing body weight, but the scrotum keeps moving forward with weight, till the point where you have to pull it out of the way so you can piss straight without wetting your balls and whole vicinity down. The long-vanished "Morning Wood" would be a distinct advantage after age 50, despite the fact that one may have to lean far forward over the toilet bowl to get the urine to go where it is intended to go, like at age 16. One cannot help but pine for the teenage days of saying "Down boy, down*", rather than the later days of saying "Up boy, up"; both of which tend to occur at embarrassing moments.
* Which for me seemed to inevitably happen in mechanical drawing class for some reason, as I was constantly looking at Deborah Hust's incredibly sleek 34B-20-34 5'10" cat-like body, and trying to figure out just exactly _how_ flexible she actually was, with all the possibilities that implied. Frickin' red-headed sex-cat, that's what Hust was. She used to dress in tight green sweaters and pants that matched her eyes, like some jungle feline hidden in the trees... then she'd hold her hands together over her head and stretch into a backwards bowed arc as lithe as a panther. If the class's teacher had any sense of mercy, he would have stuck her in the front seat of the middle row of drawing desks, so all the guys in the class didn't have to figure out some reason to keep looking back at her after "dropping" their erasers, # 4 pencils, or 30/60 degree drawing triangles around once every ten minutes. I don't know where you are today Deborah, but I thank you profoundly from a 16-year-old male's point of view. :-D
