When i was younger i used to believe that when an airplane toilet flushed, it ejected the... waste... directly under the plane, hence the unbelieveable noise. Coming with this belief, i believed that if you sat on the toilet while you flushed, you could fall out through the toilet pipe. For these reasons, i always preferred to go to the toilet while we were flying over either the ocean or some unpopulated paddocks.
Only years later did i actually see sense that the airlines would not be allowed to do this. but that diddnt mean that i hated the noise any less.
