You Chinese If Ghosts are in Water

You Chinese if ghosts are in water.

Are ghosts really in the water? Is that why Chinese are traditionally scared of the water? Actually... Chinese are scared of the water because you can drown. But, why aren't non-Chinese scared, then? Well, because they can swim!

You see, if you Chinese, and you nearly drowned as a kid, your parents don't send you to swimming lessons. Oh no. They tell you that you better stay away from the water, because there are ghosts in it. Yes... ghosts that KILL you. Kill you by drowning you - you not being able to swim is aside from the fact.

So, if you believe that ghosts are in the water, you Chinese. But please, learn to swim.
