yep... Boris Vian said (i'm paraphrasing rather loosely) that "nothing is as perfidious as water, therefore [those who have any sense] will take precautions never to drink it pure..."
"rien n'est aussi perfide que l'eau ; aussi, nos indigènes
[de St.-Germain-des-Près, ndlr.], pénétrés de cet axiome, se gardent bien de la consommer pure."
--Boris Vian,
"Manuel de St.-Germain-des-Près"
