Wow!
It seems I fart way too often. It probably has something to do with me eating fast and not chewing food enough.
My wife cracks me up, though. Hers are FAR louder and more grotesque sounding than mine ever are. She does it in her sleep sometimes,since she too falls asleep fast.
The worst one I EVER had was released upon some poor and unsuspecting souls at the Smithsonian. We were there in the American History portion. I had to let one go, and went near the elevator to fart and get some water. I did what I had to, and walked away feeling refreshed.
Five minutes later, we walked back near those elevators. Some people were exiting, and I hear them groan and ask what that smell was! That had innocently walked into a cloud.
The irony, of course, is that it WAS at the Smithsonian. I can assure you, this fart was so bad it was, in fact, historic-- so it was happy to be in the museum were it belonged all along.
TO this day, I just have to mention that I'm feeling a little Smithsonian and my wife will tell me to go to the bathroom!
I've had to develop kind of a code phrase when I have bad gas. I say I have "Fartburn", but I say it in a way where it sounds like "heartburn".
"Honey, I've got a bad case offfffff . . artburn" If you say it right, you can fool your dinner guests into recommending some Tums.
