Years ago on an unmanned barge there were no toilet facilities and peeing over the side was not an option we used a 5 gallon pail with a lid for a urinal. We'd discreetly empty it after we used it, or at the least on a daily basis. The other crew also used it and it was somewhat of a secret from the office.
The guys were actually pretty good about keeping it reasonably clean and bleached it often so it wasn't too nasty.
One time the night before crew change I took the lid and stenciled 'Empty monthly' on it and the other crew went insane and started all sorts of rumors about what pigs we were.
Then there was the pink feather boa I sneaked in and hung on the coat rack in the entryway where everyone could see it.
Needless to say, people asked the crew where it came from and both sides blamed the other crew and it graced a coat hook for about a year or so keeping everyone guessing where it came from and causing numerous outrageous rumors.
Every now and then on a certain barge someone finds 'Rent this space' stencils in odd nooks and crannies. Wonder who put those there?
