Think I'll pass on this one, GW! Not so silent but equally deadly! Maybe a little onion soup would help your spirit. Congratulations on your aromatic winner.

Lol! Is that what they’re teaching in school these days?! Poor Gary Ghoul was a zero in school :) Such a fun limerick! Your witty pen never lets you down, Gershon. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

And it's quite a trick or treat to teach passing gas online/remotely. But that's the wonder of technology, I guess. Thanks for the encouragement, Susan. Happy Wednesday! :) gw
