LOL!  Yes, I only go through the laser wash when I have my whole family with me.
Everybody gets a full compliment of paper towels, gets their seatbelts off and
prepares to rapidly deploy to whatever area happens to leak when the pressurized
water hits.  So far, the most probable areas are the bottom joints of the wind
wings, the skylight, and the side windows.  Sure makes for an exciting outing!
