You’re doing it wrong.

Boeing moved it's R&D facilities from Washington state to SC to access the common sense get 'er done brain trust that is the New South. It's the 787 fuselage and final assembly you know-nothing piece of shit.

I've flown Airbus 380, Boeing 777 and 787 to Europe. On the Airbus, the flight attendants draw a series of curtains down the aisles so you don't see the wave motion along the long floor. It's like a snake crossing the ocean.

The Boeing jets are much stiffer in comparison. My impression of the 787 was of a flying brick.

Of all the bragging I can state regarding all the places and locales I have dropped a deuce or two, I have never done so on a plane; I believe I have deferred due to the closet-sized space.

If I ever accomplish that feat, you doods will be the first to know.

I have dumped in a 45-passenger bus on a high school trip to Busch Gardens, thankfully my seat was close to the front.
I do remember many other students could not occupy their rear row seats for the remainder of the trip--yep, I blamed the dog.

We had an old MCI cross-country bus donated to my son's scout troop. The toilet is positioned above the engine bay in the rear, and connected to the engine intake, so a flush draws air from the cabin. There was an issue with the system and the toilet seat would heat up so you could not sit on it without burning your ass.
