13“I think I can withstand the dvs”. That’s what they all think. To begin with. – Paul D. Waite Sep 08 '17 at 10:02

10@Valorum - that joke was bad, and you should feel bad. In fact, I'd say that joke was just crappy. – Jeff Sep 08 '17 at 15:16

9@Jeff - I work very hard on my jokes. In fact, you could say that I toil et it. – Valorum Sep 08 '17 at 15:19

Where would they go #1 or #2? There aren't any bathrooms on the bridge (or anywhere on the Enterprise, are there?). :-) – RobertF Sep 08 '17 at 16:58

1@RobertF - Αre there bathrooms on the Enterprise? – Valorum Sep 08 '17 at 17:08

@RobertF - Maybe there's a reason that all the versions of the Starfleet uniform have black pants (or very short skirts). :-) – RDFozz Sep 08 '17 at 17:25

2I hate to be the wet blanket, but why would you even ask about Number 2? Unless you have no knowledge of the show, it's kind of obvious that nobody has that title on the D. – Ham Sandwich Sep 08 '17 at 19:06

2OMG, are we down to D jokes now. – Mr Lister Sep 08 '17 at 19:26

1@MrLister - Are we scraping the bottom (of the barrel)? – Valorum Sep 08 '17 at 20:18

6The question is unbecoming of the site IMHO - and I'm not convinced the actual answer is of any significance to you (or at all). So -1. – einpoklum Sep 09 '17 at 00:11

1I'm wondering, given the multi-species nature of TNG, if some of the crew have to go #3 (or even 4, 5, or 6?) – Helbent IV Sep 09 '17 at 07:47

"Make it go, Number One." – ThePopMachine Feb 27 '18 at 19:37

@ThePopMachine - Where did he say that? – iMerchant Feb 27 '18 at 20:26

@iMerchant: He didn't. But "We need things...Things to make us go. " – ThePopMachine Feb 27 '18 at 21:00

Based on a quick search of Chakoteya's excellent script search, at no point in Star Trek history has anyone uttered the words...
...or any variation thereof. And while Picard has uttered the words...
...on no less than 13 separate occasions, none of them are in conjunction with Number One
That being said, you may be thinking of Q's rather funny quip in TNG: True Q. At the time, Q was wearing a Starfleet Captain's uniform.
[Riker ENTERS and stops when he sees Q and Amanda. Q is standing in front of her... her eyes are closed, as though concentrating on something. The minute Q sees Riker --]
Q: If it isn't Number Two...
TNG: True Q - Original Screenplay
or you might even be thinking of Beavis and Butthead (warning, NSFW content)
(Not)Picard: Number One, I order you to go take a number two.
(Not)Riker: Aye Aye, Captain.
(Not)Picard: Hehe. [Reflective Pause] This is cool

10also, there was a Beavis and Butthead bit where they were dreaming they were on Star Trek. Jean-Butthead Pickard says "Number one, I order you to take a Number Two" – Kevin Milner Sep 08 '17 at 15:22
