I just wonder how someone came up with a research proposal to study mouse farts. Was it a joke submitted to a research grant committee? Was tequila involved? Did someone lose a bet?

Pete,
My primary concern is whether our tax money was spent to study mouse farts. I’m sure it’s been blown–excuse me–on less noble undertakings. Otherwise, I suppose I’m like you in that it gives me a measure of reassurance. And since Mexican food undoubtedly assists in the production of the most–apparently–healthy . . . effluvia . . . I shall henceforth consider its consumption a type of therapy! Admonishments shall be refuted with the indignant report–escuse me again–RETORT: “Just roll down the window! Do you want me to DIE?”
