Indeed the first words uttered between punters (and crew) in the morning especially on overlands was the state of one's bowels.
As a measure of severity there was an unofficial index developed based on the ability to pass ones bowel contents through the eye of a needle a x paces - 50 paces indicated just water and no solids for instance.
As for impromptu emergency stops I seem to remember Col being asked to stop either in the Kabul Gorge or Khyber Pass itself on TK210 by one pax - he probably can recall the question, the location and the response better than I.
