In the absolutely classic book _May This House Be Safe From Tigers_ Alexander King tells several stories, one of which concerns a friend of his who had converted to Hinduism while in India. That gentleman used to visit King on a semi-regular basis, and every time he left King's house he'd say something in Hindustani. After a while King asked him what he was saying. It turns out that he was giving a Hindu blessing: "May this house be safe from tigers." When it was pointed out to him that there aren't many tigers in Kent, his reply was "See? It works!" May this Mac be safe from vruses. -- email to oshea dot j dot j at gmail dot com.
