Pay Toilets on Airplanes

Seriously.

Isn't this just the worst thing you've ever heard of? As if air travel holds any allure whatsoever anymore.

Prediction: American Arilines will start charging you based on the amount of oxygen you consume during a flight.

I thought that was an April Fools joke. Wow.

-- Steve remembers reading an old item in MAD Magazine proposing that airlines in the future would charge passengers by weight (including luggage) as well as distance travelled. Back then the joke was hilarious. Now....

Upon some further examination, the CEO of the airline is notorious (as is the airline itself) for do-anything-to-get-attention tactics. I don't believe they have operations over here because if they did, our common carrier laws would probably be able to get this thing tossed ASAP. Still, it's just obnoxious.

Fucking A. I just can't believe it. This would be funny on a sitcom, but in real life? Sweet fancy Moses. I say pee in the puke bag, hand it to the flight attendant, and smile.

Oh-and the Krakken thing-funny!

Ugh. What's with the airlines these days? Their rules just make no sense. For example, we had an overweight bag coming back from Boston so we had to take stuff out of it. Where did we put it? In our carry-ons. It's STILL going on the plane, just it's more distributed. The only way I can see that making sense is if it's merely to spare the backs of the baggage handlers.

Well, there is that airline that's also now starting to charge for carry-ons. Just an article on it last week. Down in Florida some place.

It's worth it to join the Mile High Club.

I hold the distinct belief that the Mile High Club is overrated. I also hold the distinct belief that sex in bathrooms -- let alone the closets that are airplane bathrooms -- is not all it's cracked up to be.
