Fish What In It?


British scientists (who else) have discovered that fish can communicate in rather bizarre ways. For one, herrings:
use their farts to communicate. The tiny fish release a 22 khz sound, followed by a stream of air bubbles, from their anus. This sound and the ensuing signal are not released due to fear or diet, but they can be detected by other herring. They tend to fart in darkness when there are other herring nearby, reinforcing the idea that they're sending messages.
I tend to fart in bed when my wife is present, reinforcing her idea that I am a pig.

Ah, that's why I like herring? They are bacon, too? Thank God for British scientists and women, who should, as a group, share the next Nobel prize in science (considering Zero holds such a prize, it works).

The herring fart in darkness...silent, but deadly.

LL - covert farting is the only way to go.

See, women don't fart, it's why they Explode every so often instead.

I guess it's true then, "Great minds think alike!" I do the same thing!

In my affairs with the prettier sex, I have done the same thing. You guys, being married... not sure I should say this next.

I would suggest she go under the blankets, and that I would "air" out of the blankets. Then I would... betray her, and hold the blankets so she couldn't get out. Urhm, once in a while. Sometimes netting a week of frosty silence as a side bonus. Although food quality, when that particular woman was the cook, could also go down. So, not always just bonuses. ymmv
