Erin go poop

Leave it to those crazy Irishers. The Dublin-based Ryanair is thinking of charging for using the toilets on their flights. The airline serves 145 European cities, several to which most people have never thought of going, and now passengers have to observe their mother's admonition, "Go to the potty before you get in the car (or in this case, airplane)."

I have never felt the inclination or necessity to evacuate on a flight, but I certainly wouldn't want to put more than a dollar in a slot, or look for the appropriate coin (one English pound). Perhaps they could collect a fee beforehand for such "luxuries" as the rest room, oxygen masks, flotation devices, and drinking water, and then refund the unused portion at disembarkation. Psychology suggests that it would be a money-maker, because it would prompt the thinking, "Oh, what the hell; I've already paid for it."

FYI: Molvania is technically in Asia, so it is not served by Ryanair, but for a few strubls, several entrepreneurial Molvanians based in Poland and who own horses will transport you there. Please observe the weather advisories seen here earlier. Look for a kiosk bearing the sign, "Sprufki Doh Craszko," which actually means, "What is that smell?"
