Try a full flight from Beijing back to Hartsfield. I had to hit the head just to get some fresh air.

Why the premium price tag? Lightweight, flight friendly materials that can’t be smashed into shivs?

It’s stuff like this that teaches us all why we need women around. No chick would make this bet. No chick would even dream up this bet. None would report this bet, except to convey how grossed out she was. None that I know at any rate. With that being said (and really, I should include a hat tip to the ladies for carrying civilization around with them: left up to us Y chromosome types and its “battleshits at 40,000 feet”) I’m siding with Craig: Bartolo all the way. He’s built like a dumptruck, for dogs sake.

Airplane toilets are rough. But 12 hrs, I’m going twice.

Well, all I can say is, take a good look at that picture and see your future. As you get older, and I say this from experience, and you take longer flights, you’ll face a choice: hydrate or get sick. And if you hydrate, you will face the inevitable trip to the airplane restroom.

And if you think you are studly for making that sissy trip from Hartsfield to Europe, try this:

LAX to Sydney. Have fun holding it.

PS: Please tell Jair to get better soon. Love the guy, but he’s scaring me so far this Spring.

The question is, have you ever had the need to go while flying? It’s easy to not go when you don’t have to!

True story: I’ve never used an airplane bathroom in my life (as an aware being…infant doesn’t count). I’ve been to Europe twice, flown across county multiple times, etc. It’s a personal life goal to never use one, and at 30, I’m winning.

From the “Cool Story, Bro” File:

The toilet in that picture lists for $27,300. You can get a used one for half that. And now you can all sleep better knowing there is a “Used Aircraft Toilet” market.
