It was a lovely day up in the air. And I was sitting there looking at clouds. I would show you on this post, but the file is too large to embed here on blogger, so here is the link to myYouTube video.:

Then I had the idea to video a different sort of flush-and-forget—not the kind we will have in out own abodes in 2016, but a more fluid and vacuumy one, one that is alive and in action during the time and space continuum of flight! Plus, there is a really unnatural blue hue involved in the water doing the flushing; toilet bowl cleaner on steroids, more or less. I will not describe the aroma of that here.
The toilet seemed to take an awfully long time to flush too. Not water wise, but non-discriminatory, given that it didn't know the content. Maybe these toilets will eventually evolve into the dual flush model found in politically correct airports in drought areas.

Fortunately, most of the time none of this stuff exits the plane while in the air. However, I have been on a plane when there was just one flush too many, and that little room was tagged with an off limits sign.
You can visit this page below to get a good description as to where the outgo goes, and where it sometimes goes accidentally, plus some other airborne sewage history! Note the words "blue ice."
