Just another Michael O’Leary story for a Friday afternoon.

O’Leary, the always chatty and usually controversial Chairman and CEO of Ryanair recently gave an interview in Germany where he talked about how Ryanair might set up a new trans-Atlantic operation. He said that the new service would definitely be two-class, as there would always be a market for those higher-priced seats.

So in “Economy [class] it will be very low fares, but in business class it will be beds and blow jobs,” O’Leary calmly explained.

His German translator, clearly somewhat unnerved, then explains that she can not come up with a proper German equivalent of “blow job.” Whereupon O’Leary makes a crack about how the Germans must have a terrible sex life.

Hey, as I said, it’s Friday. I think we all need a cold beer. Or two. Don’t you?
