    Yeah, but it's a field that will always be around.

    I think that will work, and the price is right.

    Those won’t work. They leak around the threads when you squeeze the bottle. They also start to dribble when you turn them upside down. Those little caps at the top are also a pain in the ass remove. Plus they get some of the blue fluid in them so after you wrestle with removing them you run the risk of contaminating your hands or in my case the white rug that is in front of the toilet. Quite honestly the best thing I have found so far is a liquid beef broth squeeze bottle. The ketchup bottle works but it still has a slight air leak around the threads. I can’t remember which brand of beef broth but it doesn’t leak at all even if you squeeze really hard with the cap on. What’s nice about that type of squeeze bottle is when you turn it upside down it won’t dribble at all. I’m envious.

    Honey for the honey pot. Honey squeeze bottles can take it.

    Brought back memories. When I was a young whipper snapper running around an airport as a ramp rat we called the portable lav dump the honey wagon. If you could find the bottle shaped as a bear it would make a great conversation piece.

    Also known as the stool bus.

    Once parked an ATR on the ramp at BOS, walked into ops and said to the Goth agent: Can we have lav service please? Without missing a beat she slammed the button on the ramp radio mike and in the heaviest New England accent I ever heard yelled "I need a kaka sukkah on the ATR"......
