FOXNews.com – FOX Fan – Harrigan on the Hunt – The Piss Tube

It was a piss call, a new phrase for me, and a trip to the piss tube. Piss tubes are another sign that you are in the shit. They are three-foot white tubes at about a 45 degree angle in to the ground that you piss into. I encountered my first piss tube in Fallujah, and like most men, enjoyed having a target. The piss tubes here are covered with a mesh screen, which creates minor splashing, hence the process is not so satisfying.
