If Scotty in Star Trek had been a more wicked man...
Nerd By Northwest #302 – “Why You Never Piss Off Your Transporter Engineer”

Seems even aliens get toilet humor. One might even say it is... universal? 😉
I didn't originally plan for teleportation to be part of the suit's powers (it wasn't one of the powers in The Greatest American Hero TV show after all). But Pete has to get to the other side of the world SOMEHOW, and flying in the suit all the way there seemed about as ridiculous as the idea of a broke college student buying a last-minute ticket on an international flight to Europe!
As for the teleporter-toilet angle, one has to think that would be only the beginning of all kinds of evil fun one would have operating a transporter device. How great would it be if, when beamed down, Captain Kirk and Uhura ended up wearing each other's clothes? It would TOTALLY be worth the demotion that would follow. Though who knows, maybe Kirk would be into that... 😏
