I think there was a subject on this same topic on here a week or so ago. You might want to check in that one.

…it's pee tube, my friend…used by militay pilots in the 50's. The yellow tint you see in the movie is supposed to be, you guessed it, pee!

I suggested that it could inject “ecto-cleanser” in case of an accident. It was a pee-tube for air force pilots, but I personally don't think the GB's used it for that. They don't have any container for the pee to go into, if they did, then I'd agree. Only my opinion though, but it's like saying that the jumpsuits are for airforce pilots, therefore that's what the GB's use them for. . .I think the tubes serve a different purpose, one specific for ghostbusting.

Why the costumer in the film decided to make the tube part of the costume is anybodys guess. Maybe it was intended to be as “tongue in cheek” in appearance as the elbow pads over the flight suit? Anayway, here's my take on it; if the tube extends from the leg of the flightsuit to the bottom of the cyclotron, maybe the urination collection unit(UCN)is located BEHIND the cyclotron therfore being an obscure part of the pack that no one has explored yet? Maybe a topic for a new post huh?

… someone want to run with this ball?

The tube is just there, it serves no real purpose as far as we REALLY know. I wouldn't lose any sleep over this subject, it can be anything you want it to be. wink

That's probably what the costumer thought too.
