Friday Fictioneers – Cosmic Toilet

Here is my story for Friday Fictioneers, hosted by Rochelle. The photo this week was contributed by Roger Bultot.

I’ve gone for a silly, rather juvenile story this week. If you’re not familiar with “Dr Who”, all you need to know is that he travels through time in a TARDIS which is stuck looking like an old police box since its chameleon circuit jammed, and it’s bigger on the inside than the outside.

“Wow, look, that could be the TARDIS. Like off Dr Who!”

“It’s a portable toilet.”

“No, let’s go inside to see if he’s in there!”

“Who?”

“The Doctor, of course!”

“It’s a portable toilet.”

“Hmm, it is a bit of a tight squeeze. And very dark.”

“That’s because it’s a portable toilet. Hey, what’s that noise?”

“I thought since we’re in a portable toilet I’d offload that curry I had last night.”

“Oh my God. Let me out!”

“Aaaahhhh, that’s better. Hey, the door’s opening. Oy, occupied!”

Creeeaaak.

“What the Hell are you two doing in my TARDIS? And what is that smell?”

    You did warn about the juvenile nature of the story …so no comments on that . If this is where the picture took you then that’s it, we just have to deal with it 🙂

    Who? Dr. Poo? I feel like being 12 again… LOL. BTW, in Bavaria, traditional outhouses (without running water)–what people used to have eons ago–there were also heart-shaped window openings in the doors. There is also a Bavarian proverb: when the butt hums, the heart is healthy (it rhymes in Bavarian). Maybe there’s a similar proverb in Sweden?

    Who knew the TARDIS has a toilet. I guess it has to, though. Multiple toilets. Imagine! What’s the waste disposal system like on that? Does the Doctor, erm, offload the materials whilst swirling through space and time? Does it get made into a silly little cube, rather like a car-cruncher does with metal at a junkyard, and stored somewhere? Is there a heretofore unmentioned “Poop Planet” in the Whoniverse? If they have room for dinosaurs, the Titanic, the Slitheen, Daleks, the Silence, the weeping angels, the Rani, et al, I guess anything’s possible. (But ugh!) The world may never (want to) know the answer to where this planet lies!

      You’ve put way too much thought into the TARDIS’s toilet facilities! Top marks for mentioning The Rani, though. Classic Dr Who! I only remember the Doctor meeting 4 other Time Lords outside of Gallifrey, the Rani being one.
      There’s probably a huge room where it all gets stored and then he just jettisons the whole room when it full. Yuck!
