Prat X, what you say has more than a grain of truth, however its going to need really creative lying in this information age we are living in! My favourite story is from a friend who had number four engine on a DC4 depart its rightfull position on the wing, due to a prop blade failure, after they had things squared away he was making his PA to the pax which was along the lines of "we have a small problem " he then realized that all the SLF could clearlly see the problen, so he corected himself with, "lets face it folks, what I just said is a crock, we in fact have a bloody major problem "{he was an Aus, so bloody was the standard adjective} the response from the SLF was a round of cheers and applause, there is a lesson here for all of us!
