enought for my load to clear the sides of the toilet seat. Often,

Who knows of a king-sized marine head for us fatties?

Thanks in advance.

Peggie, being an older fat guy with a somewhat similar bottom, I have
realized that the problem is not with the openings, which have
thankfully not changed with the years, but the lack of availability
supporting structure to let them do their bidness.

I wonder if there is a market for a retrofit monster head seat to
a-comode-ate the majority of users.

Peggie,

I used to see your problem with some of my tenants for years. Not only is
their aim off, when they wipe they lean to one side and their great weight
puts a moment arm on the toilet and snaps the bolts holding it to the floor.
On some older sailing vessels it is only the plumbing supporting the commode
and one is at great risk for flooding should an endomorph decide to use the
facilities. I find that women are better at snapping the toilet off its base
than men. I've considered several solutions to the problem and the most
effective one, in my opinion, is to simply decrease the size of the hatch to
the head. But that does nothing for the lady of generous proportion. There,
I simply place a piece of 3/4 inch plywood between the seats in the cockpit
and place a small children's swimming pool underneath. The swimming pool is
not necessary in boats such as the later model Hunters with the open sea
transom. Always sail into the wind during this manuever.
I am thankful that you have the courage to bring this unecessarily
embarassing predicament to the forefront of maritime discussion.

BTW, a favorite pastime of mine is to sit outside of the ladies room at
beach front resorts and look at the "TSR" (toilet seat ring) imprinted on
the bottoms of large women after using the commode. It is visible, of
course, because the are clad in bathing suits which cannot contain the lipid
bearing mass of their posteriors.

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A South African woman has settled a lawsuit in
which she claimed to have developed a phobia about toilets after falling off
one at a hotel.

Antonia Hart, 59, sued the Sun International hotel chain following the
August 2003 incident, asking for 91,000 rand ($14,000) for pain, injury,
medical treatment and "loss of amenities," the South African Press Agency
(SAPA) reported.

Hart's lawyers had accused the hotel of negligence, saying their client
btoppled off the toilet when it suddenly broke "whilst in normal use for
the purposes for which it was installed," SAPA quoted court papers as
saying. /b

Sun International's lawyers conceded that the toilet had broken, but said
Hart's husband had signed a liability waiver upon checking in.

"The matter was settled between the parties and the magistrate was informed
on Monday that an agreement had been reached and that the lawsuit would not
proceed," SAPA said.

You remind me of Gilligan, being stranded on a deserted Island with nothing
better to do...

If you ask me Capt Mealy, that whole yellow monstrosity you call a sail
boat is one giant 'head'.
Just climb up on deck and position your ample butt over the cockpit and
let 'er rip!

I did NOT post this--nor any of the other recent posts attributed to me.
I haven't posted anything in weeks. I rarely, if ever, START a
thread...only reply to questions--and these days, only after checking
the full header to determine that the question is legimitate and not
from the same psychopaths who have been posting using my name.

I ask that you also check the full header for any posts that appear to

that are not a match.

Don't worry...the long 'time regulars' can tell the difference between a

Peggy, those of us who can think beyond the 5th grade level know this already.

that others get respect when they can't.

You're very respected and will remain so, regardless of what some (many
offensive and appropriate names omitted) says in inane posts.

Now, go have a great day!
