Ok folks, what’s your call on this one?
This picture comes from a Southwest Airlines plane, and we’re voting today on whether the fixture in the middle is a toilet or a sink. Cast your votes via comments.

I’ll vote! I got caught up in the voting frenzy in the recent US presidential elections and have been voting on everything since.
I vote sink because if you compare it with the the icon of the woman, then it would be a very tall toilet indeed. Granted, it’s a bit low for a sink for the man, but at least the woman won’t need a ladder to to go the loo.
I was thinking sink, because I assume the “hollow” figure above the pedestal is the mirror. However, the pedestal fixture definitely looks more like a toilet to me.

The figures of the man and woman look the same height to me.
Um, yes you are right. I was looking at the bottom of the woman’s dress and for some reason I was thinking that was where her waist would be. Not quite sure where my brain was when I thought that.
Still, despite of my previous stupid and faulty reasoning, I am going to stick with my answer of sink – but I will refuse to provide a rationale for my answer.
Silly boys, why couldn’t it be both? Couldn’t it be a toilet in front of a sink, blocking it, so that only the mirror shows? With the way airplane toilets are built, it isn’t like the sink is that big to begin with.

I think it is important to encourage boys to think ’sink’ when they are in doubt. Too many boys (at least on TV) seem unable to tell ’sink’ from ‘urinal’ :-/ The ones who can should be encouraged
@ Shefaly -
I think you’re probably right. Boys tend to urinate wherever they want, which is why that icon should be more clear!
