Sitting on a Problem!
| Published: 14th September 2007 14:13 |
As a young soldier posted in Germany in the early seventies I recall an occasion when I was desperate to use a loo.
We were on exercise and using a local German farmer's barn as cover for our communications vehicles. I had noticed in one corner that there was a makeshift "thunderbox" toilet cubical where the walls and door were only three feet high.
Nobody around, in I went. No sooner had I sat down when a big buxom, and I mean BIG AND BUXOM, German Frauline appeared on the other side of the door. I tried to shrink as low as I could but to no avail, I was spotted. Folding her massive arms on top of the door she proceeded to talk to me for what seemed an endless half an hour. What can you do?. Be impolite?, stand up!? or carry on with your objective?.
One just has to sit there trying desperately not to make any involuntary noises and not showing the strain on your face. My German was reasonable but I did not know how to say "G0 away", or something equally appropriate!
After what seemed an eternity her Father called and with a great big smile she was off. For some reason I have never made use of a barn toilet since!
