Proof: It's a guy thing.

[Daymar]

With me when I hear someone fart I think, "ok that person just emitted some nasty smelling air from their butt, they're probobly embarrassed that they made the room smell like crap, literally" and if people laugh I just don't get it.

Yeah I know. I'm always yearning for the return to the gentlemanly and lady like days but I doubt that will ever happen.

I dunno, I think it's possibly to laugh at flatulence and still be a lady.

Or a gentleman.

There's a time and a place; if I'm at home with my family I'm not worried about putting on airs or being "ladylike".  

Instead I'm worrying about how not to get beaten up by my kids who fancy me a jungle gym.  Or how not to be victim to their next gaseous drive by.

I agree with Jen.  There's a time to be civilized, and a time to cut loose (in a manner of speaking).  Taking things too seriously or too lightly for too long is not healthy.  There has to be a balance, or one will lose their perspective in life.

Uh, did I just come in defense of farting?  :?

I have yet to date a woman who thinks it's funny to fart in bed and then ruffle the covers.

Ah, the Ol' Dutch Oven.

I would never do such a thing!

I'd pull the covers over your head so you couldn't escape, and then cut one loose.

But, since I did.  I'm kinda partial to the ol' rip one in the elevator right as you are leaving.  Kinda like leaving a surprise gift for the next guy.

The best one I ever heard that made me crack a smile - was the ol' rip one in a chair.  Most office chairs have a foam base of some kind, so the idea is to sit down, let one rip, then slowly raise your ass from the chair thereby having the foam suck up the smell.  Then when your buddy sits down - presto, a nice surprise waiting for him.   :wink:

Aaahhh, the old fart and fluff.  Good for you Nyet.  

I shant comment ony my own gaseous habits, that may not be ladylike.  

Marvin, you rarely post but when you do, it's a doozy.  Good to see you, even if it *was* a thread about flatulence that urged you to post.

My sister used to wait till we were all in the car on some 90 degree day sitting in traffic and then let one go.

Never bothered her.

I guess, as they say, you always like the smell of your own brand.

Yes you sold your soul to the enemy. I thought you would be my greatest ally on this but I guess I can't count on you for anything after all.

I think laughing at farts is just a modern Western thing. I'm 99% sure men in S. Korea wouldn't laugh at farts and I'm pretty there's at least a few other countries like Japan, China, Singapore, probobly Russia, etc. where they wouldn't either.

Ahh the memories.  Anyone ever hear of a game called Turtle?

It is a fairly simple game.  It is played in a car.  The goal is to get the other guy to open the window for a breath of fresh air.  I think you can figure out the rest.  God the dumb games high school boys come up with.
