#3 The donkey disposal infrastructure issue was kinda tough to get my mind around at this hour without benefit of coffee. Bet you never thought about sewers that way.

#5 Why didn't Rumsfeld anticipate the donkey-manhole issue and plan for it? We should have had thousands of properly sized, up-armored manholes ready for installation by the 141st Donkey Disposal Brigade.

#8 The 141st hasn't been mobilized for years. At the time of their last outing popular culinary perspectives regarding donkeys was markedly different. The tools and tactics of disposal for the 141st in the field were at that time geared toward stripped carcass retrieval rather than full donkey evacuation through the largely unavailable sewer method.

#9 On a slightly related note, a friend who served with an engineering unit in Iraq told us about their experiences. Among the things they built were sanitation facilities: a container remodeled with toilets and showers. Turns out that since Muhammad didn't like to sit, the local Iraqis wouldn't use the toilets, and since they prefer to clean up with water instead of toilet paper--guess what the shower floors looked like?

#11 That's similar to the Saudi gas station restrooms. Western toilets, but quite a few footprints on the seat.
