Saying that the water coming out of the "tap" in the restroom "never hurt anybody" is just stretching the truth beyond belief. I'm not saying you would drink it and immediately toss your cookies but "never". Come on. That's just silly.
BTW, does anyone here really believe that the "tap" water from an airplane is the same as the "tap" water coming out of your faucet at home? I hope not. Otherwise we are a sorry bunch. You couldn't pay me enough to drink that water. Heck, I read somewhere about a study of municipal tap water and something like 14% of that was bad enough to make the average person sick.
