Kip Powick Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 Courtesy an expat 777 driver working in the ”sandbox” WATER 1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. 2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger. 3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%. 4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study. 5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. 6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. 7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page. 8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. And now for the properties of COKE: 1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident. 2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days. 3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous China. 4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola. 5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion. 6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes. 7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy. 8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. 9. It will also clean road haze from your windshield. For Your Info: 1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis. 2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive materials. 3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years! Now the question is, would you like a coke or a glass of water? _________________________________________________________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innuendo Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Curiously enough 151 proof spirits fall under Hazmat specifications (or used to) but you can buy it duty free and carry it on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky High Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 You know I can remember wayyyyyyy back when I was a young man in the forces. We received a rum ration after a hard day in the field. Not sure what kind of rum they served but it managed to eat thru my styrofoam cup in less than 5 minutes as I was standing there. Since then I have to admit that I've been rather leery of drinking anything with the letters R U and M in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.O. Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I once heard that a DG inspector from TC visited some Caribbean airports for an audit, and approached the local authorities about banning the sale of 151 rum in the duty free shops, as carrying it is prohibited under international DG regs. Apparently, their response was a politically correct version of "Go pound salt". BTW, I've developed a taste for Appleton Jamaica Rum with tonic water. Coke just kills the fine taste of the rum!

deicer Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 You are drinking Alberta Premium. It's the only Rye in Canada made with Rye grain. Canadian Club and the rest are made from corn... Check the labels, CC et al say they are "Canadian Whiskey", whereas Alberta Premium says "Rye Whiskey". Big taste difference IMHO. Rgds...

Guest AME Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I didn't know that, it explains why I don't like CC, but then again taste only matters for the first 10 or 12, after that even five star works Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
