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!!

I always thought that farting was quite clear as a communicative medium. I always got the meaning. I second the nomination. pfffffffttttttttttt

Typical herring conversation:

"Brawmppp pffft thpppt fffffew whommmmp!"

English translation:

"Holy shit! Big ass buncha mackerel at nine o'clock! Everybody turn right! I said RIGHT! Oh hell, they just ate Mikey!"

Throughout the time I have spent underwater (25 years commercial surface demand and mixed-gas saturation diving) - I have never once seen a fish fart - maybe I just happened to come across extremely polite ones that disappear behind something before letting rip.

Sounded more like a creaky screen door to me. Both this thread and the one about Fiji cannibals, I open them thinking maybe it's about de-polarizing American politics, but no-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oo.

one of the finest modern motion picture sound effects was in the movie scoobie doo, in which you get to appreciate the sound of farting in a suit of armour next to a candle. Cinematic genius.
