I don't think you fully comprehend the urgency involved when an old guy has to pee, Ash. A volcanic eruption on the near horizon, shooting boiling lava 12 miles into the air, is a matter of least concern.

Bathroom first. Volcanos - or hostile alien spacecraft landing on the roof - later. JDA

The old man specifically stopped attempting long drives for this very reason. My mother is now in the same leaky boat. I've peed in enough bottles while driving the interstate to know how it is.

My big issue these days is when they demand that I remain seatbelted into my chair on a Delta flight while they taxi around the airport for another hour or two. On at least one occasion, I unbuckled, hit the head, and told the complaining stewardess to have me arrested if she didn't like it. At least there's a toilet in jail.
