They hated it so intensely they still got worked up talking about it years later. two stories really stuck out: 1. The low-status kitchen workers referred to breasts as "helicopter tickets" because only foxy ladies were given awesome helicopter rides by the helicopter-driving scientists 2. On the way back to the "lower 45" after his 6 months in what he referred to as "Hell," our friend was so full of resentment that he peed in his special high-altitude cargo-airplane suit. JUST TO SHOW 'EM. Conclusion: my parents' friends are probably not the most reliable judges of how awesome working in Antarctica must surely be.

2. On the way back to the “lower 45″ after his 6 months in what he referred to as “Hell,” our friend was so full of resentment that he peed in his special high-altitude cargo-airplane suit. JUST TO SHOW ‘EM.

Conclusion: my parents’ friends are probably not the most reliable judges of how awesome working in Antarctica must surely be.
