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:

Nude Beach Etiquette as you visit the Best Nude Beaches in the World

Nude Beach Corona Beer

The only piece of nude beach etiquette Web Watch has known was from a joke we remember some comedian said.

In essence, it had to do with the very good advice regarding being sure to apply sunscreen liberally to places that may need a little extra protection. The punchline was when the guy at the beach had a hand full of sunscreen lotion, looked down at his junk… and realized that maybe he hadn’t quite thought through the sunscreen application process enough.

The lesson is not to ignore the importance of sunscreen, but that perhaps the sunscreen in a spray may have been a better choice.

If you decide to visit a nude beach for the first time, you will want to consider your lotion options, as well as these other TIPS FOR VISTING A NUDE BEACH:

Remember that Seinfeld episode about there being “no such thing as good-looking naked crouching”. Yeah, don’t do that.
No staring… but if you are going to, get a good pair of sunglasses and pretend to read a book or magazine.
No photos.
The George Costanze “shrinkage” episode. You know the one.

Budgie Smugglers

On any of your last vacations or business trips, have you ever smuggled anything into a movie theater, concert venue, or past the TSA security onto an airplane?

We’re not talking about anything illegal, of course. Something like a sealed bottle of water or a bag of candy purchased elsewhere. Nothing inherently dangerous, but just against the general rules of what’s allowed and what’s not.

And the usual method you employ to smuggle those items is usually what? Put them into a bag and hope nobody’s looking? Generally this will work…. but check out these WEIRDEST ITEMS SMUGGLED ONTO AN AIRPLANE to see if you would have the same guts to smuggle things in your pants:
