It's not a joke anymore, of course, what with Irish low-cost operator Ryanair apparently now moving fast-forward with a plan to charge passengers to use its bathrooms.
I wonder how long it will take before US carrier Spirit Airlines - which has just decided to charge for carry-on luggage - follows Ryanair on the pay-to-pee model?
And will we be asking: "Do you have four quarters for a dollar???" Or maybe they'll have credit card readers (Oh, now there is an idea. Just don't expect any real-time transactions to occur unless Ryanair finds a replacement for OnAir, its former in-flight connectivity service provider).
Hat tip to Airline Reporter for the heads up on this classic 1987 video from Alaska Airlines.
