I never heard one sneeze. -O- lol

More dusting behaviour for you.

Once one trunkfull of dust had begun to settle......

Image

Image

...another would be applied liberally all over.

Image

Image

Image

And maybe the reason that they don't sneeze is the fact that they can tie their trunks into knots. -O- :-? ;-) O**

An interesting aside: In spelling, words ending in "-full" often lose the last "l", as in "beautiful" and "disgraceful".

However, if the implication is very literally something being "full" of something, both "ll's" remain, as in "trunkfull".

One can even make up one's own combinations! \O


So well done, Deli! X#X
