    Funny you should mention that. I just had a big garlicky fart in my cubicle. My office mates just went running for the loo.

    Edgar Allan Troll's Poetry Corner:

    Good afternoon children! This morning I have a delightful little bit of prose that has meaning and subtance and is quite interesting, informative and on topic. I call it "The Fushy Bunny". And now! I begin:

    I 4m th3 fushy bunny
    I have a waggly tail
    I am the fushy bunny
    I like to drink wasail

    In seasons past
    I had a blast
    But now my ass is red

    So now I dance
    And prance and prance
    With a pancake on my     head
