Back in the 80's I worked with a guy that rode a wing. we parked next to each other in a parking garage and he was always giving me **** about my Harley leaking oil.
One day I got to work and he was already there. I took out my dipstick and after a couple of times doing it was able to put about a teaspoon of oil under his bike and smear a little bit on the underside of his engine.
When I got inside I told him it looked like his bike had a leak. He freaked out. He had the next couple days off and when he came back to work he told me he had taken his bike into the dealer and spent around $50.00 for them to try and find the leak. He told me they couldn't find it and it hadn't leaked any more. I felt bad that he spent that money but not bad enough to tell him the truth. I still feel kinda bad about it.

Rice growers around the world wish that this misguided airheaded environmentalist urban legend was true. There would be no birds left in rice growing regions if this was true.
