An emergency mission has just taken off heading for the International Space Station. It is carrying vital spare parts upon which the whole fate of the Station relies.
Is it some new-fangled electronic space telescope?
A new computer?
Navigation system?
Solar panels?
Nothing so mundane.
No, they are making an emergency delivery of . . .
Spare parts for the toilet.
Apparently the loo has not been working quite as it should. It can still handle solid waste but the liquid stuff ain't being sucked in properly. A spokesman is quoted on the BBC News as saying the toilet has to be operated "manually" (the mind boggles!).
With seven visitors arriving shortly it is essential that they can have a piss without trying to catch it in plastic bags while it floats around them.
As the spokesman said - you can't be expected to hold on if you're on a six-month journey to Mars!
After all, when you gotta go, you gotta boldly go!
