remove attribute in jquery itself

[Porsche_maniak]

Hi !
I searched most of the functions in jquery website but couldn't find solution for this one.

Example :

$('.someclass').mousedown(function(){//do something once});

As you know mosedowning every time,starts the function again.
So i was wondering how can i remove '.mousedown' from jquery after it is completed once.Maybe something with remove() or empty() ?

$(".someclass").bind("mousedown",function(e){
    //callback
    $(this).unbind(e);
})
