What could be more enigmatic, or mysterious, than the vomitorium?
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

Larks' tongues. Wrens' livers. Chaffinch brains. Jaguars' earlobes. Wolf nipple chips. Get 'em while they're hot. They're lovely. Dromedary pretzels, only half a denar. Tuscany fried bats.

I stood in the 'Vomitorium' of the Hippodrome in Ceasarea, Israel back in 2009. Impressive place and I didn't get any on me. The Diarrhea-orium is the one you don't want to go to. trust me.  :hide:
"Take a look at that". Sgt. Wilkerson-- CMBN. His last words after spotting a German tank on the other side of a hedgerow.

I thought I had some old pics to show of it but damned if I can find any right now.  :-[

There are still some airbases in Germany that were built for the Luftwaffe.
In the officer's mess, the restroom has a sort of flush toilet that is way too high and too small for that.  We couldn't figure out what it was for.
Turns out it is a receptacle for vomiting, when those flyboys had too much and needed a spew.
Only in Germany.

I bet certain forum members in Maine could use something like that, too.  ;D
