Cough it up

A report in today's The Daily Telegraph tells of a man on a flight from Vietnam to Australia who started to become ill - and then coughed up a nylon bag of white powder which was suspected to be heroin. The plane, already an hour into the trip to Australia, returned to Vietnam where the man coughed up two more bags of white powder after the plane made an emergency landing. 30 more bags of the powder were found in the man's stomach.

Hey Kaz
MX had a trivia note on sneezing and coughing. Did you know that a sneeze has been clocked at over 600 mph and a cough has been clocked at over 1000 mph. Hope no one was sitting in front of that fellow. He could have taken out an entire row in cattle class.
