A friend of mine sent me an email titled "The Stink In Farts Controls Blood Pressure". Of course this is a male friend. It's about a study published in the Oct 24 issue of the journal of science. Evidently the odor causes our blood vessels to relax which prevents hypertension.
Great. Now there's a "good" excuse behind it.
At break time, Mark was sitting around with the guys and reportedly let one rip so loud that not only could it could be heard throughout the entire machine shop - it could also be felt. The vibration, I mean. He was so proud of this he came into the office to tell me about it.
My boys could not be prouder than to rip off a loud one. Or an odoriferous one. Or a silent one for that matter. Any form of gas escaping their bodies is a matter of pleasure and entertainment for them.
For me it's generally a matter of embarrassment.
I know everyone does it, but do we have to force it out? And when we know it's going to smell bad, do we really need to roll up the windows in the car, lock them so there is no hope for fresh air and crank up the heat as high and as hot as we can before we break wind?

No. No we do not. And when one slips out, we can excuse ourselves instead of high-fiving.
