More global warming news...

A Japanese airline has asked its passengers to use the bathroom before boarding, hoping that the cumulative weight of a plane's passengers' pee will help cut their carbon footprint and stop global warming.

This policy, begun on October 1, is already showing signs of working. Some Idaho school children are having their earliest snow day in the history of their districts, and two ski resorts in Colorado are reporting their earliest season openings in their companies' histories.

Clearly, making everyone go pee before they get on their flights is having unprecedented success in making the world colder. At this rate, we'll cut enough carbon emissions to throw the world back into another ice age.

  1. I saw the 'pee' story on the news last night........

    Now the men, of course, could just as easily pee out a window of a plane---now for you ladies peeing out the window offers some great physical challenges.

    Another reason why I don't fly.....

  2. Windows don't open on jets, so trying to pee out one might make a mess...
