Creative proofer suggests correction - or a naughty letter switch

Comments re article 82562 Fradulent Fire dues collectors reported again today Marsha Walker writes:
I'm feeling naughty today. "Fradulent' could have a "u" added, or the "d" could be replaced by a "t." HaHa! A flatulent fire would need firemen! --Marsha Walker
Thanks, Marsha Walker: Your suggestions are all great, but we opted for the first one and added a "u." But will admit there was a temptation to take the naughty alternative. Funny, but is it legal to say 'flatulent' on the internet? The first time I ever heard the word "flatulent" was in a skit by famed stand-up comedian Nancy Moran, talking about her boyfriend, "Bilious Billy Button Buster," I think he was called. It was either up at the Grade Center or in the early days of ACHS. I don't remember. But it was the funniest act ever. Anyone know if she went into show biz? - EW
