There is also this excerpt from the book on his site:
A fellow flight attendant told me of another embarrassing sex-in-the-lav story. Soon after a man and woman entered the lavatory together, a flight attendant call button rang. It rang again and again, in a rhythmic pattern that was not unlike the bell at a train crossing. Realizing that the call emanated from the lavatory in which the couple had entered, and that the call button was being bumped repeatedly during the throes of passion, flight attendants stood outside and waited. When the door finally opened, the red-faced couple was presented with a bottle of champagne.
Doesn't seem too appealing to me to do that in an airplane lav, but to each their own.
