Peanut oil might be a better choice.

No, not a Tambor class, we lost that one due to ....our inaction and were given the Plunger out of a museum. Her hull was laid in 1900 and I think she went out of service in 1903. Right now we're assigned to the Mississippi River guiding boats around sandbars, but Wolferz got us stuck on a sandbar 4 months ago. That was when he took his spiritual walkabout to the head.

Good grief, could we have got smaller tub? Looking at the size of it, we could just get out, stand on the sand bar and shunt the boat loose.:doh:

Yup, we could have.

I know, I keep sliding request under the head door to get Wolferz's approval, but he never signs the paper and slides it back to me. I've done it several hundred times...have no clue what he's doing in there with all the request. If I ask him vocally, he always tell me to "go away and don't come back."

what $27,500 (US or Confederate) gets you in 1864???

I suggest we storm the head, force the door open and hold him accountable for his actions. That way he might do something productive, instead of hiding in the khazi contemplating his navel.:arrgh!:
