I heard my name

[Inna Minnit]

I'm at work this morning, a lot of people around, a lot of talking it's pretty noisy. But then I clearly hear a woman say my name. Not super unusual. But it's not a voice I recognize. I respond "yes? here I am" no response. No one apparently spoke to me. But with masks, who can tell?

I may be losing my mind.

So how is your day? Any unexplained weirdness?

There was a hole in the yard the other day. Somebody's burrow? I don't know but it was close to the house so i filled it - I wouldn't bother if it was out in the trees. Today the hole is back but there's no spoil around it.

They probably dug it from below, and stashed the dirt elsewhere. Maybe out a back-door.

Oh no! Its the Phantom Gardener! Tomorrow there will be a charming little flowering perennial there. And you better take good care of it... or else.

Meanwhile back at the shack, I was getting tired of mowing over gopher mounds so I decided to try and flood him out. I ran water down there for about ten minutes but it never backed up. So I poked around and what do you know, the little bastard had dug a drain tunnel into a nearby swale. All I was doing was cleaning his floor for him. But the neighbor's cat took care of the problem shortly afterward so we're good to go til next year.

Nah.

In the early days of NASA, during a launch training session, Flight Director Chris Kraft suddenly ordered an abort. His controllers dutifully executed the abort routine. Afterwards, at the beginning of the usual "post-mortem", Kraft asked his team, "Who called for an abort?" Silence. The abort call he had responded to had originated in his own head.

If rocket scientists can hear voices in their head, it can happen to anyone.

I once farted, because it was a setting where burping would seem un-ordinary, un-appreciated even. Burps have their time and day, and many peoples were very impressed with my abilities back in the day. So much so, that I, a simple entertainer, was invited for dinner at Julies in 1970.

You just don't burp in such circumstances, even if you are the most famous Burpy, with an ear to the Crown.
So I farted.

I was sitting on a very posh chair at the moment, it was really very comfortable, and it muted most of the explosive gassiness as it exited my nether quarters.

It resulted in a little fart, but very LOUD!
It came out sounding just like: "Maam?"

I was ever so flumoxxed, and the regent gave me a Stearn eye yes she did.

So, maybe you just farted?

[Burpy]

Just so you know - If you try to hide a fart, you will be found out.
It is not worth the effort no.

Honestly.

So it is. Or isn't.
