What is the image above? Bees around a hive or flies around bullshit?
It's one of the GoogleApps for Education emoticon choices in e-mail. A student asked me what it was (with a sly grin.)
I went for beehive, but personally, that's not how I would use it.
But then I'm a long time fan of the term bullshit anyway.

Well Doug - I would agree with the beehive theory if the hive (or pile) was a bit more symmetrical. As it is, the hive (pile) sure seems to have that un-engineered, organic quality that only a big old pile of bullshit can exhibit...
Indeed, Doug, the objects buzzing around the "hive" are in no wise similar to bees in their flight patterns. And the "hive" appears awkwardly upside down in its orientation. It can only be one thing. If it tastes like bullshit, smells like bullshit, and looks like bullshit, it's a good thing we didn't step in it.
Definitely doo doo.
I'd say "No Shit" - but I think it really is. Just not sure whether it is bull or not.....
Well, poop!
Doug
