Hamid,

There is another solution to the, uh, male P-factor if you fly alone= or=20 with an intimate associate. It is simple and consists of gallon free= zer=20 zip-loc bags (ample sturdiness) and a full roll of paper towels. Stu= ffing=20 the zip-loc with enough towels provides a safe absorbent receptacle - easi= ly=20 discarded in the trash bin at your next stop.

If you are a= male=20 flying solo, there is always the Texas Catheter (also
known as Condo= m=20 Catheter) and an empty milk jug. Even though I have
personally never= tried=20 it, in company, you can most probably get away

are supposed to be use= d=20 with. Yes, it is not fun doing all of that, but
it sure beats flying= =20 thirsty, hungry, dehydrated and hypoglycemic (low
blood=20 sugar).

While it is very hard for a healthy person to starve star= ve=20 themselves
into hypoglycemia in a day, if the day comes when you are= no=20 longer
healthy enough to do this, you will not recognize the onset= of the=20
problem till it is too late. Just like alcohol and hypoxia, hypoglyc= emia=20
