999, I don't try to blame the farts on someone else. Fortunately (or "un"), my hearing is, despite Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath and the rest of the 70s, still mostly perfect. I think with age comes the ability to say "so my ass made a noise. Big deal--get over it". I used to make fun of my mother (in a totally loving kid-giving-parent-crap way) when she got one of those walking-related semi-automatic butt-fire episodes. Then she laughed at me because she didn't give a shit-- literally, which is always a good thing when one is walking.

So now, I toot. I vaguely remember being embarrassed about that sort of thing, but I guess I got over it.
