One from the Andies....Maybe?

In Praise of Farting
A most distinguished scholar died and found himself standing before the King of the Underworld. When the monarch accidentally farted, the shih sang an eulogy of the fart in endless verses. At one point he declaimed:
    Let regal steam free passage find
    From golden buttocks raised behind,
    As when such sounds of music soft
    Of organ pipes and strings doth waft;
    Such fragrance is not held a stain
    Though quivering scent the nostrils strain;
    While rapt in thrall thy servant low
    Exults o'erwhelmed by massy blow.
So pleased was the King of the Underworld by the poetry that he extended the scholar's life for ten years. The shih returned to the world of the living and at length time came for him to leave again. When on his second arrival the King of the Underworld asked who the scholar was, one of the little devils answered, "He's the Crap Poet!"

    Chief, "So Mange Treecat communication rears its head again what's your take?"

    Mange, <Communication with two-legs is slow and cumbersome for the People. You mind-blind two-legs have no idea how slow you communicate compared to the People, nor do you give complete sensual references. For example you say "Nimitz" our mind voice Laughs Brightly our memory of how he looked when last seen, how he smelled, and perhaps his latest practical joke.>

    "What was his latest practical joke?"

    <Since he lost his mind voice the last he shared with the People was a torn up stuffed treecat and a cultivator on Grayson and the two-leg reaction. Last I saw him he signed a joke.>

    "Well?"

    <Can't tell it because this is a PG site.> Image

    "Oh, that's cruel."

    So, I had an idea for an amusing what-if scenario.

    What if the ship that had surveyed the seventh wormhole terminus from Manticore had emerged not in Lynx... but in Mesa?

    Can anyone say "awkward"?

    SPOILER JOKE and a tad off color too.

    Mange, <Now that the People are in the Navy some females have found a way to earn money in brothels. Can you guess the People's name for them?>

    Chief, "Ugh, Cat House 'Cats?"

    <No, Whistling Suckers.>

    PS Since the Sphinxian Swamp Siren or Whistling Sucker in Treecat was introduced in Fire Season and it is still hard back only the Spoiler warning must still be applied.

    The treecats, those furry bastards ARE actually the covert manipulators of events! They penetrated the structure of the Star Kingdom and took control over the goverment and military officials (even the royal family!) Oh, the treecat's bonded peoples would deny... but only because "their" treecats has forced them to do that!

    Chief "All I can say 'cat is tough titty said the kitty but the cream's still good."

    Thanks to Dilandu for this one.

    Mange, <Runs for Celery tweeting at https://twitter.com/davidweber1 is getting answers for questions for a Family feud game at Honorcon. Try this one of mine, "Who is your favorite Honorverse treecat?">

    Chief, "That cowboy treecat Lurks in Branches who guards Lester Tourville."

    <I'll get you for that, my pretty!> Mange plays a recording of Margret Hamilton's Wizard of Oz Wicked Witch of the West cackle. <And your little dog too!>

    "I'm shaking in my boots and, you're watching too much TV, Mange. OK guys who's your favorite treecat?"
