The reason Deception is so uncommon with Us Rhinos is that it has a Stink to it that Anybody could detect at any distance. All the phony smiles and bamboozlement on Earth mean nothing. Chicanery is malodorous, and makes all decent critters blush.
It is a good thing We can detect shiftiness with our noses, as We are pretty trusting. We like to extend the benefit of the doubt. Easy targets.
So you see Stench has its uses; without it, each of Us would probably own the Brooklyn Bridge.

Magnificent! (The image, I mean — and the joke about the Brooklyn Bridge!)

Joke? By the way, I am running a special myself on Magic Beans, just in case you need some- and who doesn’t?, I ask ya. You got a cow, we got a deal.

See?!?! SneNaniganza was fully operational, even if you didn’t know the name at the time. Your Inner Rhino! Hooray for you.

Bill this is seriously beautiful/dangerous/wonderful. And, I suspect, true! Wouldn’t know for sure, having a seriously challenged smeller, myself.

Oddly enough, my nose is dysfunctional too, sort of 50-50. I had a med thing 15 years ago, and couldn’t smell anything for 2 years after they patched me up. Better now, but far from great.

Oh, that’s me. I’d own a bridge in Brooklyn and a swamp in Florida and tour in Pisa!

Well, actually I do own a part of the Brooklyn Bridge, if you are in the market…
