Two stories.
One of our ex-presidents is said to have had a lifetime hatred for one of his political rivals and so, when traveling in AF1, instructed the pilots to let him know when they traveled over this individual's home state. His habit was to then visit the head and then have the pilot make a mid-air dump of the contents. Often told, might even be true.
When working construction during my college years in the 1970's, we would hire athletes from a local university for general labor, as a sort of make-work program for them to keep them occupied. One basketball player had a habit of hiding in a porta-potty to get out from doing any work. He spent so much time there that he'd occasionally take a nap. On one such occasion we barricaded the door, rigged it onto a hook from a mobile crane and left his ass high up in the air for an afternoon.
