Soon everywhere you go it will be like the olden days in former Soviet satellite countries, where frightening old human gargoyles would sit outside public toilets and demand a few coins for a scrap of toilet "paper" (i.e. barky wood-pulp with splinters) that you would then toss into the hole in the restroom floor in honor of Tito. Except now this vital commerce will be transacted on airplane flights, in western Europe, because some air carriers are so cheap/broke that they're thinking about how to "monetize" the human digestion and excretion process. Smart travelers will wear Depends whenever they fly Ryanair. The European budget travel industry needs a bailout.
