Ferries aren't known for their speed... and apparently this one isn't known for having a working ladies' room!  That is a deadly combination for these four, who --- having arrived too early for the ferry--- decided to fill their time waiting by sucking down copious amounts of lemonade at the beach-side drink bar.

It's been over an hour, and their mood had gone from jovial about their summertime vacation to utterly grim once "just wait to pee on the boat" had become "you can't pee on the boat."  They all knew what that meant...

Pulsing waves of misery and tear-filled eyes mark a valiant effort to hold in what must have been over a liter of lemonade each.  But with the ferry only inching along --- and an arrival time once two hours out now stretching to three amid the frequent stops --- their prospects for successfully carrying all that liquid to shore are slim.  

The gentle, rolling waters spreading in the wake of the vessel taunt them mercilessly with the offer of a trade: comfort for dignity.

Hey, hey, hey --- My guards do their best work when their bladders are full, and their only opportunity to pee comes after their shifts!  🤣  It's hard to get on a power-trip and be abusive toward the inmates if a little sneeze or giggle could lead to wet socks!

(And after all, "cruel and unusual" are in my job description! 😋 We wouldn't want the guards to have all the fun, eh?)

That said, they're probably not going to like next quarter's budget cuts:  limiting "pee-pee allowances" to every other shift so we can save on cleaning costs as well as toilet paper, paper towel, and soap refills!  I think I'll make it up to them by stocking the break-room fridge with more free drink options...  Girls like peach tea and iced lattes, right?
