I've a mate who has his own coach company. He was driving one of his coaches to London when a passenger went to the toilet. Having used it they were hunting round for the handle to flush it and found a flap in the floor with a handle under it. They turned the handle and emptied the septic tank onto the M1! He said there were cars coming past with their wipers going and the contents of the tank all over the bonnets and roofs.

Now that's what I call Blue Motion.

It kinda reminds me about a friend when I was at agricultural college in the early 70s. He was "flying" down a hill with a rotospreader (muck spreader that spreads along one side) and a Policeman who hated him saw him coming at speed towards a main road, so put his hand up to stop him for a roadside check before he got to the junction.

"You don't want me to stop!" shouted the lad: there wasn't cab on the tractor, so plod could hear him.
"Yes, STOP NOW!"

So he did - the spreader was full of slurry and, by the time the tractor stopped, plod was beside the back wheel as the slurry slopped over the side and forwards (just missing my friend).

A whole new meaning to being 'up to your eyes in your work!'
