Space Station: Uh...Ground Control?
Ground Control: Go ahead.
SS: Uhhh...yeah. We have a slight, um...problem...here.
GC: What is the nature of the problem? We show no negative readings here, go ahead.
SS: The nature of the problem is that we CAN'T go. IN the head, over.
GC: Say again?
SS: Ground Control, we can't go. As in TO the BATHROOM. Over.
GC: Are the laxative supplements not working, over?
SS: That's not the problem Ground Control. The problem is that the toilet has ceased functioning.
GC: Well ain't that a pisser!
SS: Affirmative, Ground Control. Literally. There was a loud noise and the fan ceased working. There is no way to clear the liquid waste.
(Sounds of snickering from GC)
SS: Ground Control?
GC: Sorry guys...temporary static. You say you are unable to urinate?
SS: No. WE can urinate fine. We just can't flush.
GC: You say this event began with a loud noise?
SS: Affirmative.
GC: Was this "noise" accompanied by any "odor?"
(More snickering)
SS: Negative. Is that laughter we are hearing, Ground Control?
GC: Uh...no. Just atmospheric interference. Sun spots or solar flare or something.
SS: This is serious, Ground Control. What is your recommended course of action?
GC: Hold...
SS: Roger that. We'll hold.
GC: No. Seriously. Hold. As in "Hold it in."
SS: You've GOT to be kidding. For how long?
GC: Long enough the folks at Guinness will be interested. We have to send up a repair crew.
SS: How long will THAT take?
GC: Well, let's see...we'll have to gather a crew, move the shuttle to the launch pad, fuel her up, do system checks...you know the usual. I'd say about three or four days.
SS: Say again?
GC: You heard me. Now buck up guys...this can be done. Just collect your, um, by-products as best as you can, and we'll do the rest. You may want to cut down on the liquid intake too.
SS: What should we use to collect the liquid waste?
GC: You'll figure something out. You're astronauts, which is right up there with rocket scientists.
SS: But you guys ARE rocket scientists!
GC: Yeah. Pretty sweet, huh?
(More snickering)
SS: We heard that, Ground Control! You're laughing at us!
GC: Sorry. But it IS pretty funny, you gotta admit.
SS: Yeah, REAL funny.
GC: maybe you could just open the window and...
SS: NOT funny!
(snickering)
SS: Look, we'll do our best. But please get things moving. It could get pretty ugly up here.
GC: Not to mention wet and smelly.
SS: No shit.
GC: Hey...don't invite trouble!
SS: Wha...oh yeah. Right. Let's hope THAT keeps working.
GC: Hope nothing. Pray!
SS: Amen brother. Amen.

I knew this would happen when they brought up the Kim Chee!

(OK, a rather obscure reference to the fact that the Korean astronaut has Kim Chee - fermented cabbage - in his food pack.)
