Sometimes in our communication in this great ol' mudcat, people communicate in not-so-friendly ways. Maybe we should tale a lesson from the herring as reported in The National Geographic, which I quote from in part...

"Scientists in Canada and Scotland report that schools of Atlantic and Pacific herring communicate by farting. Researchers suspect herring hear the bubbles as they're expelled, helping the fish form protective shoals at night. It's the first-ever study to suggest fish communicate by breaking wind"

Oops! maybe most of us would never be able to compete with catspaw!!
