Airline Funny Jokes
After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet," which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor.
Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.
By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never had an accident.
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're for.
P: IFF inoperative.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Aircraft handles funny. (I love this one!)
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
And the best one for last..................
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget ! ! ! ! ! !

tangled family mess...
Two men met at a bus stop and struck up a conversation. One of them complained of family problems.
Finally, the other man said, "You think you have family problems? Listen. A few years ago I met a young widow with a grown-up daughter, and we got married. Later my father married my stepdaughter. That made my stepdaughter my stepmother and my father became my stepson. Also, my wife became mother-in-law of her father-in-law.
"Then the daughter of my wife, my stepmother, had a son. This boy was my half-brother because he was my father's son, but he was also the son of my wife's daughter, which made him my wife's grandson. That made me the grandfather of my half-brother.
"This was nothing until my wife and I had a son. Now the half-sister of my son, my stepmother, is also the grandmother. This makes my father the brother-in-law of my child, whose stepsister is my father's wife. I'm my stepmother's brother-in-law, my wife is her own child's aunt, my son is my father's nephew and I'm my own grandfather! And you think you have family problems!"

There was a blind girl who hated herself just because she's blind. She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her. She said that if she could only see the world, she would marry her boyfriend.
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her and then she could see everything, including her boyfriend.
Her boyfriend asked her, "Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?"
The girl was shocked when she saw that her boyfriend is blind too, and refused to marry him. Her boyfriend walked away in tears, and later wrote a letter to her saying, "Just take care of my eyes dear."
This is how the human brain changes when the status is changed.
Only few remember what life was before, and who's always been there even in the most painful situations.
Life Is A Gift
Today before you think of saying an unkind word - Think of someone who can't speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food -Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion.
Today before you complain about life - Think of someone who went too early to heaven.
Before you complain about your children - Think of someone who desires children but they're barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn't clean or sweep - Think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive – Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one Maker.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.
Life is a gift! Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it, and Fulfill it!
My thoughts:
Been feeling a tad bit burnt-out this period, intensified by the hot and erratic weather... BUT having read this makes you realise that there are more important things in life than being bothered about the small things in life...
To live life to is to take life's challenges by its horns... what does not kill me will make me stronger... cliche but how true...

Butter vs Margarine
“Pass the butter please”. That was usually the case during meal time.
Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys!
When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback return on their investment, so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.
It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow coloring and sold it to people to use in place of butter.
How do you like it?
They have come out with some clever new flavorings.
DO YOU KNOW... the difference between Margarine and Butter?
Read on to the end... gets very interesting!
-Both have the same amount of calories.
-Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 gm compared to 5 gm over margarine.
-Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating
the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
-Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
-Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few.
-Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavors of other foods.
-Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years.
Margarine can:
1. Very high in trans fatty acids.
2. Triple risk of coronary heart disease.
3. Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol) and this increases the risk of cancers up to 5 fold.
4. Lowers quality of breast milk.
5. Decreases immune response.
6. Decreases insulin response.
And here's the most disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC!
This fact alone was enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).
You can try this yourself:
Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it in your garage or shaded area.
Within a couple of days you will note a couple of things:
* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow.
Why?
Because it is nearly plastic. Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

A father put his three year old daughter to bed, told her a story and listened to her prayers which she ended by saying
"God bless Mommy, God bless daddy, God bless grandma and good-bye grandpa."
The father asked, "Why did you say good-bye grandpa?"
The little girl said, "I don't know daddy, it just seemed like the thing to do."
The next day grandpa died.
The father thought it was a strange coincidence.
A few months later the father put the girl to bed and listened to her prayers, which went like this: "God bless Mommy, God Bless daddy and good-bye grandma."
The next day the grandmother died.
Oh my god, thought the father, this kid is in contact with the other side.
Several weeks later when the girl was going to bed the dad heard her say,
"God bless Mommy and good-bye daddy."
He practically went into shock. He couldn't sleep all night and got up at the crack of dawn to go to his office. He was nervous as a cat all day, had lunch sent in and watched the clock. He figured if he could get by until midnight he would be okay. He felt safe in the office, so instead of going home at the end of the day he stayed there, drinking coffee, looking at his watch and jumping at every sound.
Finally midnight arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief and went home.
When he got home, his wife said "I've never seen you work so late, what's the matter?"
He said "I don't want to talk about it, I've just spent the worst day of my life."
She said "You think you had a bad day, you'll never believe what happened to me. This morning our neighbour James dropped dead on our porch."
"God bless Mommy, God bless daddy, God bless grandma and good-bye grandpa."

Funnies... Just for laughs!
An oral surgeon was scheduled to extract four wisdom teeth from Jim, a high-school football player, who had opted to be sedated for the procedure.
As the intravenous anaesthesia was being administered, the doctor asked Jim
how he was feeling.
"Man," he replied, struggling to keep his eyes open, "I feel like I'm in
English class."
~~~~~
The minister asked the little girl, "Do you know what's in the bible?"
"Yes," she responded, "I think I know everything that's in it."
Surprised, the minister siad, " That's a pretty big claim for someone your size, go ahead and tell me."
The girl started out, "Well... let's see... there's a picture of my brother's girlfriend, a ticket from the dry cleaners, one of my curls, and a Pizza Hut coupon.
~~~~~
A visiting minister was very long-winded. Worse, every time he would make a good point during his sermon and a member of the congregation responded with "Amen" or "That's right, preacher" he would get wound up even more and launch into another lengthy discourse.
Finally, the host pastor started responding to every few sentences with "Amen, Pharaoh!" The guest minister wasn't sure what that meant, but after several more "Amen, Pharaohs" he finally concluded his very lengthy sermon.
After the service concluded and the congregation had left, the visiting minister turned to his host and asked, "What exactly did you mean when you said 'Amen, Pharaoh'?"
His host replied, "I was telling you to let my people go!"
~~~~~
A lawyer was reading out the last will and testament of a rich man to the people mentioned in the will:
"To my loving wife Rose, who stood by me during the rough times, as well as the good : the house and $2 million."
"To my daughter Jessica, who looked after me in illness and kept the business going : the yacht, the business and $1 million."
"And to my cousin Dan, who hated me, argued with me and thought I would not remember him in my Will, you were wrong : Hello Dan!"
As the intravenous anaesthesia was being administered, the doctor asked Jim
how he was feeling.

There's something about this period that is bringing out maudline feelings in me... maybe cos of Valentine's Day and the Chinese New Year.
Valentine's Day is a trying reminder to the singles out there... reminding you that you dun have a valentine (which is why I use it as an excuse to celebrate Friendship day!) It is also reminding how relationships dun seem to work out for me for some strange reasons... Maybe it's because my life is pretty much unsettled at the moment.
My best friend, J, is getting married this June and this is bringing out a strong yearning in me for a stable relationship that has long term potential. Looking at her fiance (WK)'s relationship, it's a reminder for me for what works and doesn't work in a relationship. When a relationship works, things just seem to fall naturally into place and there will seem to be little obstacles between the pair aka character differences, differences in opinion etc. While there are little quarrels here and there, it will serve to draw both closer, rather than divide. J was telling me, over dinner one evening, that somehow things will happen for me when my life achieves some form of stability...
I'm convinced of what she said cos it did seem to work out for her. A part of me also believes her cos I'm a hopeless romantic...
In truth, I haven't had time to eally think about what I really want from relationships. And this is why they have never really worked out. After brooding and mulling over this, I realised that all I want is to find someone who can complement me - enjoy the same activities as I enjoy, share my belief system, share similar love languages as I do, share my joys and sorrows etc. Kinda idealistic but then, I'm a hopeless romantic! I believe that for every one person, there is a certain someone out there for him or her... kinda fits like a jigsaw puzzle. I really believe that that someone out there really exist for me... and maybe, I might find him somewhere, somehow...
Chinese New Year is both a happy and uncomfortable time for me - happy cos it's a time of family reunion plus I'm pretty lucky at Mahjong during this period... hehee... Uncomfortable cos it always feels strange for me when I visit my paternal side. It's a reminder of your dysfunctional family and how you are the only child there without any parents accompanying you (except for your brother). The feeling of family reunion is lost for me at my paternal side...
Thankfully, it only lasts for half a day and my life seems to be back to normal in terms of routine. Only the maudline feelings remain... kinda a bitter-sweet experience.
Which strengthens my belief that I can only find someone who can complement me... I dun wan marriage for me to be a compromising affair - where I simply find someone cos I'm afraid I will be left on the shelf. There are some things in life that we can compromise but marriage is certainly not one of it. I have had friends who compromised and are stuck in unhappy relationships. Some are lucky to be able to recover that romance while some were less fortunate... I never hope my children will go through the same things which I went through... no doubt it made me tough, it was a hard road of experience to tread...

In truth, I haven't had time to eally think about what I really want from relationships. And this is why they have never really worked out. After brooding and mulling over this, I realised that all I want is to find someone who can complement me - enjoy the same activities as I enjoy, share my belief system, share similar love languages as I do, share my joys and sorrows etc. Kinda idealistic but then, I'm a hopeless romantic! I believe that for every one person, there is a certain someone out there for him or her... kinda fits like a jigsaw puzzle. I really believe that that someone out there really exist for me... and maybe, I might find him somewhere, somehow...
Chinese New Year is both a happy and uncomfortable time for me - happy cos it's a time of family reunion plus I'm pretty lucky at Mahjong during this period... hehee... Uncomfortable cos it always feels strange for me when I visit my paternal side. It's a reminder of your dysfunctional family and how you are the only child there without any parents accompanying you (except for your brother). The feeling of family reunion is lost for me at my paternal side...
Thankfully, it only lasts for half a day and my life seems to be back to normal in terms of routine. Only the maudline feelings remain... kinda a bitter-sweet experience.
Which strengthens my belief that I can only find someone who can complement me... I dun wan marriage for me to be a compromising affair - where I simply find someone cos I'm afraid I will be left on the shelf. There are some things in life that we can compromise but marriage is certainly not one of it. I have had friends who compromised and are stuck in unhappy relationships. Some are lucky to be able to recover that romance while some were less fortunate... I never hope my children will go through the same things which I went through... no doubt it made me tough, it was a hard road of experience to tread...

Can angels take the form of animals?
As we know, everyone who is in heaven is a saint. But there are also "official" saints, those recognized for all the good they did here on earth. One who couldn't have succeeded without a particular heavenly helper was St. John Bosco, whose feast day we observed on January 31st.
John was born in Becchi, Italy in 1815, and although he grew up in poverty, he had a wise and loving mother, who saw that he got an education. Before John had reached his teens, he was already experiencing wonderful dreams about his future. It seemed clear that he was to become a priest, and work with homeless boys, saving them from the streets, educating them and teaching them about God. Just how this was all to come about was not explained in the dreams. John set out to accomplish the task anyway.
The street kids that he dealt with were rough, angry and not all that interested in reforming their lives. Often they would rob John when he approached them. Gradually, he won over the younger ones, and established group homes for them. But the assaults continued. And because many of John's rescued boys were hard to handle, the citizenry was not exactly thrilled with his mission. Often, they too attempted to drive him out of the area. (Teenagers were considered a pain by many then too.)
One autumn evening in 1852, John Bosco was making his way across the most broken part of the slum district. He was alone and depressed. (Yes, even saints get depressed.) "Lord," he prayed, "I know you want me to care for the least of your children, but I can't go on being mugged and robbed, and still do the work you've assigned me. How about a little help?"
Suddenly John noticed a dog behind him. Or was it a wolf? The creature was huge and grey...but friendly. Timidly John called it, and the dog trotted up and took his place alongside John, as if he had been trained to do so. "I'll call you Grigio," John told the dog (Grigio" means "grey" in Italian). The two strolled along in silent companionship until John reached his house, and the dog left, as if his job was done. But it wasn't. A few days later, John had to travel through a dangerous area, where he had once been beaten by street thugs. He was apprehensive but…there was Grigio! Again, the canine bodyguard stayed next to John, until he reached his home. How had he known?
Thus began a tender pattern - John walking alone, the dog suddenly appearing and escorting him to safety. On one occasion someone behind a tree fired two shots at John. They missed, and the shooter aimed again. But Grigio raced at him, teeth bared, and the man fled. Another time, as John was walking down a dark and unfamiliar street, two men threw a sack over his head, obviously intending to kill him. Suddenly John heard barking. Yes, although he hadn't seen his faithful companion, here came Grigio again,growling and driving the men away. A few days later, Grigio saved John's life in an ambush. A dozen men had surrounded him with their sticks raised to strike when Grigio arrived upon the scene. Of course everyone fled.
The animal became popular, for he sometimes came into John's house, and allowed the smaller boys to play with him. But his appearances always had a purpose. Sometimes it was to meet John at the door before some journey; sometimes to escort John safely home, even when John was unaware of danger. At least once, Grigio even prevented John from going out. He lay down on the threshold and barred the exit. "Grigio, move aside!" John commanded, but the dog resisted, and John eventually gave up and took off his coat. About an hour later, John's neighbor rushed in to warn John that another trap had been set for him. Grigio had saved him again.
By now, John realized that something heavenly was going on. And as if to confirm it, the dog appeared as John was on his way to visit a farmer. When they arrived, John brought the dog inside. Grigio lay down quietly in a corner while the family ate. But when they had assembled leftovers for Grigio's dinner, they could not find him! No doors or windows had been open, yet he had vanished.
For over thirty years, as John Bosco traveled Italy, saving boys and establishing the Salesian Society, a new order of priests, faithful Grigio continued his inexplicable but wondrous mission (and never grew any older!). To this day, if a Salesian priest is in danger, a large grey dog sometimes appears, just at the right time.
God sends angels in many forms. Even dogs? You decide.

Ode to my Mom
My mom, in my opinion, is the greatest mom i could ever ask for... all these years, she had always been my champion, providing me with moral support especially in the area of my studies. I never was a good student... I was not failing but I din exactly get the best of grades either... She never made me feel inferior to my brother, who comparably scored better grades than I did... Instead, she would encourage me, telling me that having the best grades were not the most important. What was more important was that I enjoyed what I did and I did my best...
She has also supported me financially through my studies... Though I paid her back, she never failed to ask me if I needed help with my school fees. She would deposit the cheque in my account so I could sign for my school fees and earn my UNI$ points. She has also never harassed me to return the money. As long as i did return, which showed her I was financially responsible, it was enough for her...
I have a job that required me to put in ridiculously long hours... I leave the house at 6.30 am and I'm never home till almost 8 pm. Weekends, I'm also rarely free... having to do my marking, lesson plans, set and vet through exam papers etc. She does all the housework at home so I have a clean and comfortable house to come homw to...
I cannot ask for a better mom than her... one who has so unselfishly placed her children's needs above hers... and yet, request for so little in return...
On this special day, all I wanna say to her is "Happy Birthday" and thanks for always being there for me!
Although I missed service to spend a great birthday dinner with her and my aunts and cousins, this was remembered by her. She was very touched by my gesture... At least I did honour my Mom... I think I made God proud too! Hehee...

Happy Valentine's Day!
For the single souls like moi... be glad you never receive cards like this!
MARIANE'S VALENTINES (Rejected by Hallmark Cards)
by Mariane Holbrook - from www.marianeholbrook.com
# 1
With all my heart I love you,
With all my heart I care;
I still have one big question, though,
"Do you still dye your hair?"
#2
You look so lovely in that dress
I even love your hat.
Is it okay to tell the world
You've gotten sorta fat?
#3
My valentine, I love you so,
You fill my heart with bliss.
If you'd just put your teeth in
Then I might enjoy a kiss.
#4
Dear Valentine, you are so dear,
I love your tender touch.
Let's just forget your mother said
You'd not amount to much.
A young man called his mother and announced excitedly that he had just met the woman of his dreams. Now what should he do? His mother had an idea: "Why don't you send her flowers,and on the card invite her to your place for a home-cooked meal?"
He thought this was a great strategy and arranged a date for a week later. His mother called the day after the big date to see how things had gone.
"The evening was a disaster," he moaned.
"Why, didn't she come over?" asked his mother.
"Oh, she came over, but she refused to cook..."
When Mary was pregnant, her 5 year old, Billy, was utterly amazed, and a little bit
disbelieving, that his sister was growing in his mommy's tummy. So one day when the baby was especially active, she asked Billy to place his tiny hands on her tummy to feel the baby kick.
When he did, however, the baby was suddenly still.
"Oh, Billy, she must have decided to take a nap," shrugged Mary.
"A nap?" Billy marveled. "You mean there's a bed in there too?"
A man spoke frantically into the phone: "My wife is pregnant and her contractions are only two minutes apart".
"Is this her first child?" The doctor asked.
"No!" the man shouted, "This is her husband!"
A successful lawyer bought a brand new Lexus and brought it in the parking lot to show his colleagues. A truck drove by and tore off the door. He dialed 911. The police came but the lawyer started screaming hysterically. "I just bought this car and it's ruined."
When the lawyer wound down the policeman shook his head in disbelief and said, "I can't believe how materialistic you are. You are so focused on possessions. Don't you notice anything else?"
The lawyer asked how he could say such a thing.
The policeman said, "Don't you know that your arm is missing from the elbow down?"
The lawyer screamed, "Oh, no. my Rolex is gone!

This is not a story but a true incident that happened in USA.
An Indian man walked into a bank inNew York City one day and asked for the loan officer.
He told the loan officer that he was going to India on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000.
The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan. The Indian man handed over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produced the title and everything checked out.
The loan officer agreed to accept the car as collateral for the loan.
The bank's president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the Indian for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan. An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank's underground garage and parked it there.
Two weeks later, the Indian returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest, which came to $15.41.
The loan officer said, "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow "$5,000"
The Indian replied: "Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return'"
Ah, the brain of the Indian... This is why India is shining !!!!!

Turning 25...
There's something about turning 25...
It made me reflect about all areas of my life and look for ways to improve my situation...
Relationships wise... I have learnt to treasure people dear to me, such as friends who have weathered through thick and thin with me, providing a listening ear whenever I need to get things off my chest and giving me great advices. Most of all, I have learnt to better appreciate my mom...
I have also learnt to let go of relationships that have caused me much grief over the years, or have drained my emotions quite completely... They made me realise how little I was loving myself... That's why 2007 is my 'Love myself more' year... Not narcissistic bt rather learning how to take better care of myself...
Health wise... I'm learning the importance of taking better care of my health... As a Christmas present for myself last year, I signed up with a gym and have been attending classes regularly (at least twice a week). I am getting fitter, no longer panting when I climb up the overhead bridge, and slimmer as well...
Spritually... I'm learning to draw closer to God, praying for his anninting on everything I do... In return, I have received a peace of mind, knowing he's watching me and giving me favours in everything I do...
Career-wise... that's an area of uncertainty in my life...
Frankly, I love what I do... the kids are great to be with (on most days!), the colleagues are friendly and easy to work with plus I have favours from my bosses...
However, over the last 6 years, I cannot deny that the stress of the job has taken a toil on my health. Last year, I practically clocked a MC a month (not as if it was something to be proud of!). I have also been on hormone pills for over a year to ensure a certain part of my anatomy can run like a clockwork... But I have since had to stop due to side effects... Now, things have gone awry for me again!
In like of this, I am really pondering if it's time for a career change... something less stressful for me... My gynaecologist has been bugging me to do something less stressful so I can tackle the root of my monthly problems... My facial therapist has also been telling me that so I can control spots that marr my 'beauty'.
I'm not afraid of working hard, neither am I afraid of new challenges... I just want a job that will end when I step out of the office... I no longer have an appetite for slaving over my computer, working my weekends away...
Financially, I would just like more $$$ for whatever I do... Like now, I'm only taking home less than $1.5K for the work I do... It's really bugging me how pathetic it is for the hours I put in... That averages to $60 a day for 11 hours of official work... It does not even begin to factor in the hours I put in at home...
In short, I'm tired... Over the years, the opportunity costs have really gone up for me and it's wearing me out... I really need a break from it all...
This is 'food' for me to seriously consider and to pray about over this year...

E-MAIL FROM JURONG POLICE DIVISION
BEWARE AS TO WHERE YOU PARK YOUR CAR NEXT - IN MALAYSIA!
This actually happened to a Man not a woman recently in KL Imagine:
You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car and get inside. Then you lock the doors, start the engine and shift to Reverse. Then you look into the rear mirror to back out and you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window screen that is obstructing your view.
So you shift the gear to Park, unlock your door and jump out to remove that silly piece of paper (or whatever it may be). When you reach the back of your car, that is when the surprise begins!
The Car-Jacker appears out of nowhere, jumps into your car and takes off!! Your engine is still running, your belongings are all in the car, including whatever you may have bought from you shopping trip. They will mow you down as they take off if you so much as try to stop them.
BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.
Just drive away and remove the paper that is stuck to you rear window LATER, and be thankful that you read this email.
I hope you will forward this to your friends and family members.
Imagine if your purse is inside the car. They then will have your IC, credit cards, home address and maybe your house keys! Good Luck.
Disclaimer: I got this in the email... not so sure how true this is... but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry...
