Default Learned something new yesterday

Every boatshop has a 'Moaning Chair'.

The other is the 'LL' . . . Latrine Library, or 'Head' for the nautically
inclined.


A certain boat building company out of Pascagoula, MS used to outfit their
130' seismograph work boats with "heads", always mounted as far forward as
possible in the bow, below decks, and high enough off the deck to where even
Yao Ming's feet wouldn't touch.

Just imagine using one of these "bucking heads" when running into a rough
sea ... it helped to have rodeo'ed a bit.
