I just must be overly fastidious. The idea of taking a d*mp inside my car, whether it is a Vanagon or not, and whether it is into a plastic bag in a plastic bucket or not . . . I dunno. I mean: ick! There's no doubt that it is the Pause that Refreshes, but there's the olfactory component wafting about the cabin, and you got this totally creepy plastic bag o' goodies -- what do you do with that?
