I am so happy to know that I carry the asparagas detecting gene, and aren't you all just thrilled to pieces for me! However, I've forgotten why we were discussing asparagas on the ferret list. ??? Anyway, what I wanted to ask, is, if I feed asparagas to my ferrets, will I be able to, ahem, 'detect' it? And will, after digesting their asparagas, my ferrets still go, "ooooh, ooooh, ooooh, I have produced my own treat, get away, get away, it's mine, mine, mine? Except for Neugi, who goes "Gack, you things are dis-gust-ing, I can't believe you are standing there, doing that, I'm just going to continue staring, because you are sure to do something else totally stupid, and I wouldn't want to miss it".
