Fine, I didn't realize that in addition to consuming more everything then everyone else in the world, that we Americans are also guilty of having more toilets per capita then everyone else in the world.
On a serious note, the 30-minute restriction extended only to flights over or near the Olympic area. Given the events of recent months, and the visibility of the Olympics as the target, I don't see why this restriction is such a hardship.

I didn't see ANY rule about not going to the potty AFTER the plane had landed. You know, after the plane touches down, the bathrooms are STILL THERE. They don't magically disappear into the 8th dimension.
And for whoever asked "what if he gets sick to his stomach?" They have air-sickness bags there for a reason. And wandering minstrels called "flight attendants" to pick them up and take them away.
As for these other cases... people with that little control over their bodily functions shouldn't be travelling anyway.

Which pretty much rules out the current president's father.

How wise, how profound, how full of useful data or insightful commentary.

Well, gosh, Robert, I'm so sorry my little joke lacked that vital Clinton element so essential to your alleged sense of humour. In fact, I'd like to apologise to all of you for having the indecency to make any sort of joke here, where truly serious matters are debated to the death. I'm sure such an act will soon be made illegal by some other silly piece of post-September 11th legislation, in which case you can turn me in.

Oh, so your comment is inoffensive, while my sarcastic reply somehow merits that venomous response?
Someone's been riding the Porcupine Train.
*Doesn't remember mentioning Clinton for a very long time now.* *Also doesn't remember any previous mentions of presidents by him in this post*
You must be confusing me with someone else.
Unsurprising. So much nonsense to keep track of, eventually it must get muddled a bit.

Bass Ale is horrible. Although Lee did go to university in Newcastle, where people have beards and burn anyone using a mobile phone in case they are a witch, so it's possible Lee likes it.

What a brilliant summing up of most of the arguments waged around here.

And the fun part is, that summing-up was courtesy of the person who insists on waging most of said arguments. An American would probably define that as "ironic."
And as for Newcastle, well, you've already proved you have it confused with Manchester. 8)
