Supposedly this is true......you never know

This is happening in Montreal. A couple of weeks ago, in a movie
theatre, a person sat on something sharp in one of the seats. When
she stood up to see what it was, a needle was found poking through
the seat with an attached note saying, "You have been infected with
HIV". The Centers for Disease Control reports similar events have
taken place in several other cities recently. All of the needles tested
HAVE been positive for HIV.

The CDC also reports that needles have been found in the coin return
areas of pay phones and soda machines. Everyone is asked to use extreme
caution when confronted with these types of situations. All public
chairs should be thoroughly but safely inspected prior to any use. A
thorough visual inspection is considered a bare minimum. Furthermore,
they ask that everyone notify their family members and friends of the
potential dangers, as well. Thank you.

The previous information was sent from the Regina City Police
Department to all of the local governments in the Saskatchewan area and
was interdepartmentally dispersed. We were asked to pass this to as
many
people as possible. This is very important!! Just think you could save
somebody's life, just by passing this on. Please take a couple of
seconds
of your time and pass this on. Thank you!!!
