ROTFL........There are so many quotes you could use from that....

The one I like is....
\"........ fish at the front of a shoal fart to direct other shoal members in a particular direction.......\"..........I know which way I\'d start heading......lol

if fish fart to communicate what happens if its a natural function ?

fish\" farts\"
fish behind says \"what did he call me\"

its no wonder fish are darting around like crazy
