Nice try, Brian and Ansley, but no cigar for either of you this
time...Roger's answer is the correct one--the head takes its name from
its original location at the head/bow of the vessel. And since waste
went directly overboard--no hoses or fixtures where sea water or waste
could collect--there was no odor. But since sailors of that era rarely
bathed, they wouldn't have noticed any odor from the head anyway.


Yah, yah, yah - we've all heard that crap hundreds of times already.
Your not talking to a bunch of ignorant children, ya know.

What a pathetic woman. An entire adult life that revolves around sewage,
stink and human waste. Peggy, you are a walking, talking waste of humanity.

You stink, Peggy Hall.
