Do not flush

Jujube has it right.

This is 1850s technology.

It's all so wonderful, isn't it? The airlines and cruise ships still do that at sea. That's one of the reasons the oceans are a mess and dying.
 
Another sign you always saw in train toilets. GENTLEMEN PLEASE LIFT THE SEAT. As a child I forever after thought that it was proper for the seat to be up and it was the mans job to see that it always was.

My mum used to sing a variation of that little ditty.


The tune was Offenbach's Barcarolle

Gentlemen will please refrain
from pulling chain
while the train
is standing in the staaaa - tion........

We always went on our annual holidays on a train, usually pulled by a steam engine.
I loved it. For overnight journeys we always had a sleeper compartment.
 
Reminds me of a joke my father used to like to tell. It's rather tasteless, but that hasn't stopped me yet. Besides, it's definitely germane to this subject:

There's an old train traveling along the tracks when suddenly it screeches to a stop, throwing people around. It is determined that someone has pulled the emergency brake.

The conductor storms through the cars, shouting "ALL RIGHT, WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR PULLING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE??? SOMBODY BETTER TELL ME WHO THE HELL PULLED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE!!!"

From the closed men's room comes a plaintive voice crying, "I DID!"

The conductor yells through the door, "WHY THE HELL DID YOU PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE!!!"

Even more plaintively comes the answer, "HEMORRHOIDS..."

"HEMORRHOIDS?" screams the conductor, "HEMORRHOIDS??? WHY WOULD YOU PULL THE EMERGENCY CORD FOR HEMORRHOIDS? EVERYBODY HAS HEMORRHOIDS!! I HAVE HEMORRHOIDS!!!"

The voice cries out again, "MAYBE SO, BUT YOURS AREN'T WRAPPED AROUND THE TRAIN AXLE...."

I remember watching the tracks go by in a train bathroom, but I didn't know airlines did it over the sea. Boy, that'd screw up a fishing trip..
