When bands travel around the country, they usually start out in a van of some sort before finally hitting it big and being able to rent — or if they’re smart, owning — their own tour bus.

And on every band tour bus that Web Watch has been on, they’ve all had one rule posted.

The toilet is only for pee. No #2 in the bus toilet.

This same rule applies for rental RVs. Those of you who have taken a weekend trip in one know exactly what Web Watch means about this being one of the most important rules to follow.

Musician Thor Harris has compiled a LIST OF 21 RULES FOR ALL TRAVELLING BANDS that is not just applicable to aspiring artists, but should be something that is posted for anyone planning a road trip with their buddies. Web Watch has posted a few of Thor’s tips below the cut:

The WORLD TOILET ORGANIZATION has designated November 19th as WORLD TOILET DAY.

And what is World Toilet Day, you ask? In an effort to raise awareness and improve sanitary conditions for people around the world, the World Toilet Organization has decided that merely talking about how bad some countries’ basic bathroom conditions are wasn’t enough.

Most people would rather touch a public toilet seat than shake hands with a sneezer

The Dread Pirate Toilet Seat

Are you scared of germs?

How do you feel when you meet someone who just came out of the bathroom and you have to shake their hand? Especially if their hand is still just a little damp from not being dried properly?

Say it with us: “Eeewww.”

You don’t want to touch anything in a public bathroom that’s wet, right?

Now take the same situation, and instead of “bathroom”, think “sneeze”. You’re about to shake someone’s hand when they abruptly sneeze into it — then proudly present it for the handshake. How do you graciously back out of that one? It’s not like you can immediately switch to the Howie Mandel fistbump^tm.

Underwire Bra Pattern

Researchers at Nara Women’s University’s Department of Environmental Health held a study to determine IF WEARING AN UNDERWIRE BRA EFFECTED A WOMAN’S ABILITY TO POOP. The theory was that the bra exerted pressure on the body; does this added pressure have an effect?

Remodeling Bathrooms

A study has concluded that THE WAY YOU USE THE TOILET CAN AFFECT YOUR HEALTH.

This really isn’t anything new, as proper toilet use has been studied since the 1960’s at least. At question is whether the upright, “European-style” toilets where one properly sits as if on their own personal throne, is good for you or not versus the time-worn method of evacuating by squatting over a convenient hole in the ground.

We have all seen the infamous bathroom graffiti:

here I sit
broken hearted
had to poo
but only farted

But nobody really knows where that was first written.

Luckily, thanks to the Internet, such bathroom poetry can be instantly shared and savored out to the world, thanks to NOTES FROM THE STALL.

Introducing the PEEPOOPLE – when you absolutely have no where else to go

Camp Toilet

Russell, you may recall, had a bit of an issue in trying to use his Wilderness Explorer skills in using a latrine:

“Definitely before.” Wiser words have seldom ever been spoken.

If only Russell had read Web Watch, he would have known about this product for his trip with Carl: It may seem amusing to some people, but the PEEPOOPLE serves an equally very specific and serious purpose.

Proper sanitation and facilities don’t always exist in third-world countries. Water, whether clean or not, is often scarce and seldom used to facilitate waste management as is done in European-style bathrooms. Women have even been attacked while on their way to use whatever restroom options are available.

Gilpin Family Whiskey – it’s whiskey, made from pee!

The Whiskey Companion

“Whiskey,” to paraphrase Homer Simpson. “…is there nothing you can’t do?”

Apparently not, if you take James Gilpin as an example.

James Gilpin knows a bit of science behind the making and distilling of whiskey, and he knows that all he needs is some good sugar water to make the stuff. So, being a type-1 diabetic, Gilpin turned to one resource that he had readily available to him.

Introducing GILPIN FAMILY WHISKEY. It’s WHISKEY MADE FROM PEE. More specifically, the whiskey is made from the pee from diabetics, whose urine often contains high levels of sugar.
