   For some reason, this reminded me of the waitress walking by a table   
   with three fellows talking.   
      
   The first fellow says "I think it's spelled "Woom".   
   The second says "No... it's more likely "whoom".   
   The third says "I'm pretty sure it's "whoomb".   
      
   The waitress leans over and says "Gentlemen, it's definitely "womb".   
      
   The three fellow glance around at each other, then one turns to the   
   waitress and says "Well, I'm almost certain that you've never heard an   
   elephant fart!"
