Ryanair may need psychiatric help...

When I wrote this I thought it was a joke, but today's NYT blog The Lede contains a bit about Ryanair (for those who don't know, a really crummy European cheap - pardon me, "discount" - airline led by a male CEO who seems to have a bad case of PMS 24/7) being serious about asking its passengers to pay around $1.50 for the use of toilets in addition to toying with several equally loony money-saving (..?) ideas, such as fee for self on-line check-in (and apparently no other options: you either check-in on-line and pay for it extra, or no go even if you have a ticket...), passenger-loaded luggage, et cetera. I'm really surprised that they are not providing a menu of sexual services on board (90:10 split of the fee, with the ten percent going to the sex worker and the rest to Ryanair of course...)
