Scuttlebutt from Santos

The Head

By Jim Santos


JIM SANTOS (4896-A/LIFE-1996) sends this about the head on board a submarine.

I've been aboard this submarine for nigh on to a week, sitting here with both legs crossed, unable to take a leak. I'm afraid to ask instructions too ashamed to face the crew. If I don't figure something out I don't know what I'll do. Push this lever, turn that valve, which one do I use first, if I don't find the answer soon, my bladder's gonna’ burst. I sure don't want to flood the boat, I cannot take a chance, but If I don't do something, I'm gonna’ wet my pants. I fell asleep in sub school when they gave the demonstration. I'm sitting now in misery from lack of urination. I've held it in for over a week, that's as long as I can go. Won't someone show me how it works, my kidney's about to blow. There's no one I can turn to, the situations mighty bleak, I'd give my reenlistment bonus, for a chance to take a leak. The pain is quite unbearable, I'm about to throw a fit. Unable to pee was bad enough but now I have to ____! (You fill in the blanks……)

EDITOR NOTE – We are getting a lot of comments from Members that they really like the humor JIM sends for the KTB.
