I thought long and hard about where this item should go, but there is only one place for it - right here in the Laughter section.

Women's smell worse than mens? I thought they didn't fart?

 

I've never farted on a plane, probably a good thing as it would lead to a sudden increase in pressure and pop eardrums!

Shouldn't be a worry in the Thruster Pud.

if you are sitting right you may get more thrust, and if you live long enough you might become a silly old one. Nev

thanks for sniffing that out Pud!

So....now I know if on a commercial flight and someone bursts into spontaneous applause what it means...Ive often wondered why they did that and thought it was in support of a good landing after a rough flight, now I know it was the bump that cracked the sphincter!

Think it depends a lot on what you eat, and how well you are digesting it. It pays to be carefull of what you eat and drink on a long flight or you may experience a fair bit of discomfort. The cabin altitude is around 9,000 feet. Thats why you can't get a hot cup of coffee. The boiling point is much lower. Nev

You haven't experienced my farts Frank!!!

 

I was exercising restraint when we met in Townsville last August:laugh:

Farting could turn heavier than air aircraft into lighter than air aircraft if we all fart methane. Landing and "sticking" to the ground would be the issue.

 

Oh, by the way, as my sigline says "...Never trust a fart."

Butt the end result of all that flatulence could be http://www.yawp.com/3rd-i/vol4/vol4No12/fart.html . To keep it in or let it out = discomfort and dyspepsia -v- human incendiary.

That's almost straight from SouthPark, I remember an episode where the climate change scientists were blaming global warming on farting, the people began to spontaneously combusting, due to holding their farts in.

Useful if your plane runs out of gas.

My girlfriend of 21yrs always used to say "That was totally unnecessary, it's all a matter of self control " but that was a blast from the past.

 

Since I bought her a new battery for her hearing aid, she's never said it again, but does occasionally wander away from me, with a funny expression on her face.

For all the young teenage blokes who read this site (all 3 of you) you will know when the time has come, when you girlfriend is comfortable around you & really likes you.

 

They pass wind in front you, instead of sneaking off to pass wind in another room or down wind from you. :scratching head:I dunno why they do this, must have something to do with evolution or something.

That's Farter from the truth as I know it. They might be relaxed , but they might have stopped caring also. Nev

Maybe, with just cause?

 

SORRY! shouldn't have bought that Thai Curry Cookbook........................I'M GUILTY!...........................(Yet feeling pleasantly relieved)

To test your girl friends faith and devotion, see if she'll play dutch ovens.

Stands to reason mate they are the one that splash perfume all over themselves to smell good, but now we know the real reason eh to hide the stench.

Could the incidence of flatulence affect the safety of the flight? There could be a distraction from the appropriate action.Nev

This story is as flatus a pancake.

One thing I remember from my nursing days was the morning "tune up" of the old stainless steel bedpans. Had a distinct resonance that the newer plastic bedpans could never match............
