After downing two tall beers at the Boise airport, SkyWest passenger James Whipple was told he couldn't use the restroom on the plane he was on, because a light wasn't working. Unable to hold it, the resourceful gentleman urinated into an air sickness bag instead of his trousers.
No other passengers noticed Whipple using the bag, but a flight attendant asked him about it and told the captain, who called airport police.
Whipple was questioned and took a taxi home to Sandy, a Salt Lake City suburb.
The airline sent him a letter of apology and a flight voucher, SkyWest spokeswoman Sabrena Suite-Mangum said Friday.
