Get the Barrel mug.A phrase taken from a popular joke. To say someone is "in the barrel" or "taking a turn in the barrel" means it's their turn to do an unpleasant task or to suffer an unpleasant experience. The joke is as follows:
A sailor on a Navy ship had been out to sea for weeks, and was beginning to go through sex withdrawals. Fed up with the lack of sex, he asked one of his shipmates what he did when the pressure was too much to take.
"Well, there's a barrel with a hole in it near the mop storage. When it gets to be too much for us, we use that."
So the sailor went over to the barrel and decided to give it a go. Finding it was better than he'd expected, he began using it regularly, and his problems seemed to vanish.
After a couple of weeks, his commanding officer began to take notice, and said, "You seem to be a lot more relaxed. What's your secret?"
The sailor, embarrassed to give a straight answer, simply said he'd been getting better rest.
"Well good, sailor. You're going to need it," replied the officer. "Today's your turn in the barrel."

(Roger Keith Barrett) The former front man of the psychadelic force known as Pink Floyd. In his late teens and early twenties he was exposed to fame, hard drugs and a difficult lifestyle. His genious emanates from his songs done with Pink Floyd and as a solo artist. Syd created music that was so abstract and transcendent that it is often misunderstood for a bunch of drug generated bullshit. If you feel the same way, then i feel bad for you... because you're a complete shithead.
