Flushed with anger, US woman in plane toilet ordeal

    OSLO, Jan 21 (Reuters) - An American woman had no need to 
fasten her seatbelt on a flight from Scandinavia to the United 
States after a high-pressure vacuum flush sealed her to the 
toilet seat of the transatlantic airliner. 
    The woman filed a complaint with Scandinavian Airlines 
System (SAS) after her ordeal on a Boeing 767 flight last year. 
She got sucked in after pushing the flush button while seated, 
activating a system to clean the toilet by vacuum, the airline 
said on Monday. 
 "She could not get up by herself and had to sit on the 
toilet until the flight had landed so that ground technicians 
could help her get loose," a SAS spokeswoman told Reuters. "She 
was stuck there for quite a long time."

Yes, but can't imagine it working in a plane loo.

It doesn't. I had the terrible misfortune of sharing a recent transatlantic flight with a bunch of women who were appeared to be from India or Bangladesh.

Either they didn't know how a flush toilet worked or they were fans of the skier's stance, because they were all apparently trying to stand on the seat. Men can generally aim. Women can't.

How come this chick got stuck to the truck?
Vacuum in a tail gate? What brand is it?

[chainsaw]

Did they provide her with reading material?

No but I'll bet she got a first class lunch. Just slide it to me under the door honey, and hurry I have to get my mind off what I'm doing.

[Humidston]

She actually SAT on that nasty toilet seat???? GROSS!

"I bet her legs fell asleep..."

Talk about mixed feelings, eh?
Sleeping legs and wide awake a*s.

[Geezerette]

Why didn't she wait to flush AFTER she got herself off the pot? Doesn't everybody?

This sounds like an old urban legend from the late-60s / early 70s.

"Why didn't she wait to flush AFTER "

Heck knows.
Maybe she was working on her "Nonperturbative Vacuum Effect in the Quantum Field Theory of Neutrino Oscillations" dissertation?

[RightOnline]

Just hate when that happens.....

[Geezerette]

Well, if that was the case, she flunked the course!!
