Acceptable language for TP only sticker concerning marine head and clogging?

[Ozshadow]

I plan to get some stickers made for the head giving notice to not put anything other than supplied TP and natural waste in the toilet. No napkins, feminine products, paper towels, cigarettes, etc.


What are your thoughts for acceptable language in such “Notice” to be placed above the head ?

"If you didn't eat it or drink it don't flush it" I might be a little harsher than others because I had a nice sign made on my old boat and still got a clog from a lady product..........

It doesn't matter what your sign says, you will still get clogs from "feminine" products.

That is a good idea. I have one, that basically says what others have noted. A couple years ago I had a group of young kids on board, and they were apparently not listening to the lecture, so I found that even marine grade TP can do it in large quantities.

"This unit is for appearance only, it is non-functional....go poop on shore."

What do you do in emergency's off shore....wooden plug and mallet?

I had a few made up a few weeks ago by "Signs By Tomorrow", I put one on the underside of the lid (which is up most of the time). Short and to the point

ABSOLUTLEY NOTHING
GOES IN THIS HEAD
UNLESS YOU HAVE
SWALLOWED IT FIRST

Wow. Do your guests complain about the taste of the TP?

I'm sort of like Scott in that I don't allow..........oh never mind :grin:

Wonder how well this would go over:

If you put X items in the toilet, the vacuum pump will reverse to free the clog and you will be wearing everyone's poop.

 

[Ozshadow]

No, just a good 'ol fashioned walking the plank.

Does the plank have a hole in it?

Reminds me of one of the first and only episodes of "Last Man on Earth" that I was able to watch, only it involved a diving board.

This is why I'm with moparlvr on NOTHING but human waste going in the head.

That one came with my boat and is visible to standers!!


I have a rebus on the back of the door, too, that I use when I give "the talk" to every new guest, and some of the frequent flyers, as well. It gets chuckles from adults, and everything from red cheeks to belly laughs from kids (but BOY, does everyone remember!!):





When an 8 year old nephew on his first trip on the boat announced he had to go, I took him and his mom for the show and tell. He was a little squirmy, of course, but nodded along with every instruction....'til I told him about folding up #2 TP into the can.

"Nevermind."

And he held it the rest of the trip.

We have this on the gust head wall. As you sit, it's right in front of your face -

"[Name of boat] loves a crew that puts everything besides toilet paper (yes, even girl stuff) into the waste bin. The captain would rather fix you a drink than fix a clogged toilet."

Here is what I put on a card and had laminated (I use "stickum" and put it on the head wall when new guests are on board):

Instructions for the Marine Toilet

The toilet operates by vacuum suction and is similar to an airplane toilet.

The toilet can clog easily, and it is very hard to unclog (and not a lot of fun), so proper operation is important.

Important!:
• Do not flush anything other than human waste and marine toilet paper.
• No other tissue, paper towels, or wipes can be flushed.
• Do not flush any hygiene products. They WILL plug the toilet.
• There are lined paper bags in the storage cabinet to use for hygiene products which can then be put in the trash bin.

Toilet Operation:
• Before use, lift up the foot handle to let water fill the bowl about half full.
• Do not use a lot of toilet paper at one time without flushing.
• It is better to flush multiple times, rather than put a lot of paper in at once and risk a clog.
• Re-fill the bowl with water before each flush.
• To flush the toilet, push the foot pedal down and hold it down to flush the bowl. Let the water run a bit with the pedal held down after the flush, then release the pedal. Repeat if necessary.
• After a flush, it takes a minute or so for the vacuum pump to build pressure again before you can flush a second time. You can hear the vacuum pump run and then stop, and then it is ready.

^----- That is pretty good. What is Stickum ?


My head is too small for anything other than a person.

I guess I called it the wrong thing. Its that blue stuff you use to stick paper on a wall without using a tack. I think its actually called "Blue Tack"
