Well, give me your worst! Porta-potties are the pinnacle of bathroom humor - both aromatic and generally unsanitary, they lead to unrivaled levels of comedy relating to the jon. Now allow me to present you an image I took in D.C. to kick this topic off:

(And you know what else is funny... I didn't actually read mu's porta-potty analogy until I was in the process of making this topic)

When i was in Idaho it was a luxury to use a porta-potty. Usually we had a bucket(it was an overnight rafting trip)

Nice. Bucket.

Actually, my best porta-potty story is this:

Week 2, sometime in August 1997 outside of Cleveland, Ohio making our way to Rhode Island. We stop at a gas station that looks fairly run down.

It had been a little while since the last stop and someone was calling (it was nature). I meandered into the store. Buckets had been strategically placed throughout to catch water pouring from the leaks in the ceiling and large "OUT OF ORDER" signs had been placed on the restroom doors. I approached the attendant and asked if there was anything else I could use. "Go around back, there's a porta-potty out there."

So, I proceeded out of the store to the porta-potty and opened the door. This is not something I should have done. It appeared to me, at least at the time, that a whole tour bus had, in turn, spewed all over the potty. Not only was the waste holding tank full, but it had run over into the rest of the toliet. Every flat surface was covered in a milky-pink fluid and had large orange and white chunks on it. I closed the door in disgust and went to get my sister (needed a witness Posted Image).

Too bad I didn't get a picture of that one...

We used to throw big new year's parties at our rowing club, with 400 and more people at a time. Naturally we ordered six Dixis (they're called Dixi toilet here), to meet the sanitary needs of all drunk kids in the area.

Well, when we went about to tidy up the place the next morning we noticed that counting the toilets would turn up that one was missing. After we had ruled out the possibility that alcohol intoxication had caused a miscalculation of numbers, we went out searching for the missing Dixi...

Naturally, a rowing club needs a river nearby, and you probably now know where this is going. When we went down to the river, we really found the toilet booth afloat near the shore. Whew! It wasn't lost, which would have cost us nearly a grand, so we tried getting it back onto hard soil.

Opening the door, however, had us litres upon litres of chemicals flowing onto our feet...

...plus a drunk kid. We initially thought he had drowned, but we finally managed to wake him. Apparently his buddies had locked him into the toilet, and rolled it down all the fifty metres to the water.

Great friends to have.

Actually, I rather quite enjoyed all the mental images. Amusing.

There was a reason I didn't reply earlier, and that was a hope that this topic would be buried by the other topics. ;p

I know a girl (not really a friend so much as "that drunk girl" at the parties many moons ago) who owes the conception of her first born to the private confines of one those plastic marvels (we can't place the paternity anywhere since she doesn't remember who she was with once she woke up). I suggested she name the child Biff. We haven't spoken since (not that I'd really care to).

I've found that the federal government takes very good care of its portable toilets and I will use one of theirs without hesitation. I won't come within ten feet of a privately controlled one unless I'm truly in dire straits.

You know what I like? Escalators. They need to make more products like escalators. See, they can't break. They can merely become stairs. So you walk into the store and see: "Escalator temporarily stairs, sorry for the convince".
