'Relief tube'? I remember as a kid building a model of some WW2 fighter plane and the schematics referred to a certain 'pilot's tube'. I wondered what that was and asked Dear Old Dad who explained its purpose. Ever since then whenever I see a plane flying overhead I instinctively think of ducking for cover lest I get 'showered upon'. Kind of gross really.
Concerning automobiles, I'll wager most (males at least) have on at least one occasion on long hauls made use of an impromptu 'relief tube' - usually in the form of an empty pop bottle.

EEEeeeeuuuuuuwwwww!
It is all a matter of perspective!!!

TRUE - This is a major issue for those doing their 'Adopt a Highway™' duties, especially along major cross-country interstates (think: 'truck/lorry drivers').

It's not such a problem in Europe, though, with the frequent service plazas and rest areas along the motorways over there.

A group I belonged to volunteered for a time to clean up a stretch of US 131. I can tell you based on first hand experience that not all Mountain Dew bottles are carbonatedThere are a lot of truckers on the road

Most women I dated seem to have had bladders the size of peanuts and were constantly needing/wanting to make pit stops on road trips. A couple of the more intrepid ones might stop roadside if suitable screening vegetation was nearby, but let's face facts, it's a dicier proposition for the ladies as nature compels them to have to drop their drawers. When you're a dude the whole world is your toilet.
Just seems appropriate to the thread.

What kind of "relief" would this tube be for anyways?

What movie is it where he pees in 10 bottles, gets pulled over, and the cop drinks one of the bottles to make sure it isn't beer? This is going to kill me. Jim Carrey movie maybe? Or is it Will Farrell? Hmmm.

Bah. I should have known that. I might have to go into the collection to watch that again... so quotable.
Just when I thought you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this... and totally redeem yourself!Harry: I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this.
