First, I've never heard of "agelast" before, so you stumped me on that word, Sandra. Second,I had no idea about the dolphins. However, they exhibit many human characteristics and lots of humans get "high" on drugs and alcohol. Way to go, dolphins!

My first mother-in-law was an agelast if ever there was one. She thought mirth was a cardinals sin! We should have had her swim with dolphins and nose a few puffer fish. That might have done the trick.

At least it doesn't kill the dolphins.

Hey Elizabeth, Isn't that fun about the dolphins. They are just so darn intelligent.

Agelast is new to me. It reminded me of ageless! That is a funny dolphin fact and shows they aren’t much different from humans. Xo

Sandra Cox said...

Well done. As always, David:)
