Then there was the time somebody plugged the airliner's john, but later customers kept on flushing heedlessly. Can you say "keep your feet above the blue waves?" I thought it was going to short out the electronics.
Then there was the elderly lady who didn't understand how to lock the airliner john door and ended up flashing everyone waiting in line.
And then there was the time ...
