Actually...Mr. Limpet talked me into getting into Show Business in the first place.

Of course...he always concealed his specific species...figured it was an acting job...nobody's business...and as long as he kept all the eels off the set...he probably wouldn't be tempted to reply to them in their native language. We did have to ban flatulence during Studio poker games...which was difficult to enforce, believe me.

Thus, one might surmise that all DU members are also herrings...

And red ones at that...

Herrings appear to be sociable fish who like to communicate among themselves and use their natural flatulence to do so, a team of British and Canadian researchers has reported.

Yeah, right. Blame it on the fish.

Is it not written, He Who Smelt It, Dealt It?

This topic was posted 11/11/2003, thanks Oldeconomybuyer. Sometimes they can't communicate this way because some are hard of herring.

Wow, so do I.

For example, if the First lady pisses me off, I’ll have a jar of kimchi and a twelve pack of Sapporo...

Let it ferment, and pull the covers over her head and let it rip!

I think they’ve got it wrong. I think it’s a Fast Aquatic Repetitive Tick.
