For the benefit of the readers of this forum in the United Kingdom, would someone mind explaining the 'safety' phenomenon? Thanks.

Farting is the helpless cry of an imprisoned turd.

it's a part of life, is it not?

i remember last year when my then-ladyfriend and i were leaving milwaukee, after my parents' wedding anniversary, and i got into the car, headed back to the twin cities, and said, "oh! i feel kinda gassy." she instantly chuckled. this was funny, not because i indulge in fart humor but because i don't. it was my way of saying, "yeah, the man in your life occasionally has to fart, honey --- deal with it." this was natural, and sorta cute somehow. but if everytime one got into the car or climbed into bed they said the same thing it would be quite the deal breaker, and i'd almost be upset with someone for tolerating it. basically, i think it's respectful to avoid fartign around your s.o. (or other people) as much as possible, but when you have to, just be a fucking adult and own up to it. chances are it'll be at least a bit funny. just don't push your luck and you'll be fine.

okay, how about this: fart, farty fart farts, fart fart fart.

The noise is funny, the smell isn't.

FUNNY.

I still think it would be great to be able to fart at will. I mean any time and at any noise level.

hey, enough talk already! just get down to buisiness!

it's not crap, but it's not funny either.

I just sneezed so hard that a monstrous burst let loose down below simultaneously...

A couple of people did that "prairie dog cubicle" thing.

Definitely not crap...
