Here's an example where you really want the washroom to read 'vacant':

OTTAWA (Reuters) - The pilot of a Canadian airliner who went to the washroom during a flight found himself locked out of the cockpit, forcing the crew to remove the door from its hinges to let him back in, the airline said Wednesday.

The incident occurred aboard a flight from Ottawa to Winnipeg Saturday. The regional jet, capable of carrying 50 people, was operated by Air Canada's Jazz subsidiary.

SFU dissidents plot to oust student president

2006-08-30T22:42:00.000-07:00

A former member of the Simon Fraser Student Society executive has told the Georgia Straight that he is part of a group examining the possibility of impeaching the student-society president, Shawn Hunsdale, and other directors.

Former SFSS internal-relations officer Kevin Tilley said there is a “lot of dissent” concerning the society’s recent decision to fire long-time staff member Hattie Aitken. Last week, the Straight reported that Aitken’s union, CUPE Local 5396, is challenging the dismissal. Former SFSS president Clement Apaak said at the time that Aitken was part of the group that brought in a contentious graduate-students’ health plan.
