Subject: Farting in Public From: GUEST,Jane L Date: 26 Sep 01 - 09:27 PM Last night while performing at an open mike I was introducing a somber ballad song, and during the intro was treated to this horrible sound (fart) emitting from an emarrassed audience member (it was obviously not done on purpose). Needless to say it cracked everyone up and I did a rousing song instead. Anyone ever have any weird stuff like this happen to them? Jane |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: Donuel Date: 26 Sep 01 - 09:51 PM THE Mother of ALL farts occured in a Circuit City Store in DC. Before Xmas there was a llllooong line of people waiting to pick up their purchased merchandise from the single 'warehouse' clerk. Some how one kid managed to choke the ENTIRE STORE with a fart soo foul so hideous you can not begin to imagine. People walking in the front door with smiles suddenly covered their face and left. Warehouse employees coming in with merchandise could be seen writhing their face as if in a sand storm as soon as they got in range. People who had already paid were determined to stay BUT IT ONLY GOT WORSE>A blind couple sped for the door a bit too fast-wham... The kids who tried to laugh could only cough , wives left their husband to endure while they evacuated. One hysterical guy was yelling my buddy did that, over and over! There were apparently several people who were honestly perplexed with the commotion which could only mean they had no sense of smell. After Xmas the building was merciflly remodeled with tall ceilings. |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: GUEST,John Gray / Australia Date: 26 Sep 01 - 11:29 PM Several months ago a bloke here was taken to the local police station for questioning. He convinced the cops he was innocent and as he was leaving he let rip with a robust fart. The witnesses, the agrieved cops who hadn't been able to pin anything on the farter, said the fart was meant to mock them and immediately arrested him for "being obnoxious in a public place", or words to that effect. The poor bloke was chucked in the slammer and, at his first trial, was found guilty and released with a hefty fine. This verdict was overturned on appeal with the judge telling the police to grow up as well as hitting them with the legal costs. The irony is that it all took place in the town of Werribee, where the State's main sewerage farm is, and the aroma is most noticeable when driving through. JG / FME |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: paddymac Date: 27 Sep 01 - 12:14 AM Without question the most hilarious work by Mark Twain is a piece called "1601: A Fireside Conversatyion in the Time of the Tudors" (or something close to that - it's been a long time since I read it). The story line is quite simple: a horrendous fart at the table, followed by a round of denials. If you do, or ever did, think a fart can be funny, you might appreciate Twain's artistry. |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: GUEST,Genie Date: 27 Sep 01 - 01:16 AM The story is told about Queen Victoria, I think. The Queen was showing off her stables and her prize stallions to a visiting dignitary, when one of the horses let a humongous, foul fart. The Queen, being quite dismayed, blurted out to her guest, "Oh, dear sir, I am terribly sorry!" (or words to that effect)--to which the gentleman replied "That's quite all right, Your Highness. Actually, I had thought it was the horse! |

Trumpet trousers! The best laugh though was in a yoga class I used to go to for years... Yoga relaxes... EVERYTHING! and often in class whilst people were stretching, and holding yogic stances or bringing their legs over their heads etc, then someone would uncontrolable let one out. Much to their embaressment, and used to make me and my friend just crack up totally. Especially when it was one of the more refined looking elderly ladies... Methane yoga! :) |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: alanww Date: 27 Sep 01 - 05:43 AM I remember in the lobby of the changing rooms / toilet block on the camp site at Chippenham FF at about 2 am during the usual singaround [a good place to be as Alan White had fixed up a barrel of real ale!]. Well just as someone was in the fifth verse of a rather boring sad ballad ... a noise was heard. Well, the problem wasn't that it happened but I shook it out of my trousers and I stamped on it to kill it (as you do!) At that point several of us sniggered so much that we had to retreat into one of the changing room and we couldn't stop giggling until after he had finished his song ... "Don't mind the wind ...!" |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: GUEST,Mandolin King Date: 27 Sep 01 - 07:13 AM 2 interesting things in that vein have happened to me while working the 3rd shift at a convenience store. One was a very attractive girl of about 25 who was in shopping and while bending over to get a cold drink from the cooler she let out an amazingly loud and long fart. She was so embarrassed about it but I just let her know it was no big deal and happened al the time in the store (I guess even the "beautiful people" fart too). The other wasn't farting but was also on the 3rd shift in which 3 girls of about 20 or so came in with trench coats on at about 3 AM and proceeded to take them off to reveal that they were totally nude (I think it was a college initiation thing as it's near the college and they stayed for like 5 minutes pretending to shop). Needless to say - I volunteered for night duty for quite some time after that. No other nudies though :( |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: Jim Dixon Date: 27 Sep 01 - 08:14 AM While searching for a more readable version of 1601, I found it quoted in its entirety by a certain flatulence-obsessed gentleman who calls himself Dr. Salvo. Although Dr. Salvo has some witticisms of his own worth reading, you can skip all that and go directly to Twain's text by searching for the word "Yesternight" -- and the same trick works with the Project Gutenberg text that Steven linked to above. |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: Jim Dixon Date: 27 Sep 01 - 08:27 AM Jewish law apparently prescribes a special prayer to be used if one needs to "break wind or sneeze" while praying: "Master of the Universe, You have created us with many openings and cavities. Our shame and our disgrace are open and known before You; shame and disgrace during our lifetime, worms and insects after death." Details here. |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: Murray MacLeod Date: 27 Sep 01 - 08:29 AM As a matter of interest, would the earliest known literary reference to farting be in Chaucer ? I seem to remember one of the Canterbury Tales being particularly bawdy, and containing an account of a lady farting in her blindfolded lovers face. Probably the "Miller's Tale," if memory serves me right. Murray |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: mooman Date: 27 Sep 01 - 11:18 AM There are certainly references to farting in Chaucer but one of my favourite passages on the subject is from Francoise Rabelais' "Gargantua and Pantagruel". Certainly one can see from this that Pantagruel could have been a worthy rival to our own dear 'Spaw! Then said Pantagruel, Come, my lads, let us begone! we have stayed here too long about our victuals; for very seldom doth it fall out that the greatest eaters do the most martial exploits. There is no shadow like that of flying colours, no smoke like that of horses, no clattering like that of armour. At this Epistemon began to smile, and said, There is no shadow like that of the kitchen, no smoke like that of pasties, and no clattering like that of goblets. Unto which answered Panurge, There is no shadow like that of curtains, no smoke like that of women's breasts, and no clattering like that of ballocks. Then forthwith rising up he gave a fart, a leap, and a whistle, and most joyfully cried out aloud, Ever live Pantagruel! When Pantagruel saw that, he would have done as much; but with the fart that he let the earth trembled nine leagues about, wherewith and with the corrupted air he begot above three and fifty thousand little men, ill- favoured dwarfs, and with one fisg that he let he made as many little women, crouching down, as you shall see in divers places, which never grow but like cow's tails, downwards, or, like the Limosin radishes, round. How now! said Panurge, are your farts so fertile and fruitful? By God, here be brave farted men and fisgued women; let them be married together; they will beget fine hornets and dorflies. So did Pantagruel, and called them pigmies. Those he sent to live in an island thereby, where since that time they are increased mightily. But the cranes make war with them continually, against which they do most courageously defend themselves; for these little ends of men and dandiprats (whom in Scotland they call whiphandles and knots of a tar-barrel) are commonly very testy and choleric; the physical reason whereof is, because their heart is near their spleen. mooman

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: Mike Byers Date: 27 Sep 01 - 01:16 PM The absolute worst place for mass, uncontrolled public farts is an altitude chamber. Physics dictates that as the chamber is pumped to a lower pressure, internal gases will expand. And expand they do, with great vigor. Fortunately, you are usually wearing an oxygen mask, as the experience otherwise might not be survivable. |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: mooman Date: 27 Sep 01 - 03:11 PM As an "amateur" myself (as they say in these parts) of this fair art, I decided to consult one of my favourite sources, the very excellent Sick Notes - An Alphabetical Browsing-Book of Derivations, Abbreviations, Mnemonics and Slang for the Amusement and Edification of Medic, Nurses, Patients and Hypochondriacs by Fritz Spiegl. Not unsurprisingly, it proved once again an invaluable resource. Spiegl cites two important treatises on farting: Thurlow's Essays on Wind of 1825 which describes "five or six species of fart" and a French paper L'art de peter, Essai theori-physique et methodique (sorry can't do the proper acute accents on this keyboard!) published in 1776. More interestingly he also quotes from the Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy of 1993 which is pretty much the standard "bible" to be found on any general practicioner's desk. Surprisingly, this learned tome is remarkably staightforward in its language of classifying "four fart types" as follows:
1) The "slider": (crowded elevator type), which is released slowly and noiselessly, sometimes with devastating effect
2) The open sphincter or "pooh" type: said to be of a higher temperature and more aromatic
3) The staccato or drumbeat type, pleasantly passed in privacy (this is the spurious connection to a music forum!)
4) The "bark" type, characterised by a sharp exclamatory eruption that effectively interrupts (and often concludes) conversation. Aromaticity is not a feature. Speigl goes on at much greater length but I recommend you procure a copy of this excellent book to enjoy both that and its many other gems of information. All of this deliberation let me to further ponder how these four fart types could best be described onomatopoeically. Reading earlier posts in this thread, 'Spaw's "BBBRRRAAAAWWWWMMMPPP" probably refers to type 4, although my keen ear detects the presence of an "M" which could hint at a touch of moisture, which could point towards type 2. Clearly aromaticity could be an important classification criterion here but we on this forum are sadly not in a position to judge on this (perhaps a task for FSGW attendees?). Since flatulence makes a regular appearance on this site, it would be interesting to get the views of other 'Catters on the onomatopoeic representation of the other fart types so that we may more accurately transcribe them in our future postings. Yours fartfully, mooman |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: Liz the Squeak Date: 27 Sep 01 - 03:30 PM There is an entertaining little volume entitled 'A History of Farting' (available for perusal in our bathroom), by Dr Benjamin Bart... which has a great deal of information both anecdotal and medical about anal eructations, a most pleasing thing to read whilst engaged upon other 'tasks' in the same room... Did not the Emperor Claudius decree that farting was essential? One of the consuls dropped dead of intestinal troubles because he would not fart in front the Emperor, so Claudius decreed that farting was permissable. And champagne corks are supposed to come out of the bottle with a 'sound like an angel's fart', rather than this vulgar popping sound and spray everywhere... unless of course that is how angels fart.... And I'm surprised no one has formed a blue clicky to the infamous 'cat farts' thread yet..... LTS |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: Liz the Squeak Date: 28 Sep 01 - 02:29 AM I knew my best friend's family and I were going to get on real well when her mother let loose a 'calico ripper' and DIDN'T blame the dogs! (For the term calico ripper - take a piece of calico or other tough cotton material. Rip it from end to end. Should last about 3-5 seconds and be audible in another room). The changeover from church pews to comfortable chairs has meant the demise of the 'hymn book dropper'. That rattle or rumble down the back of the pew that makes you drop your hymn book in a desperate attempt to hide your face during the prayers, because it only happens during the prayers. Never during the loud bits. Although a certain 'trumpet voluntary' has been heard over some of the more energetic chorus type songs.... The best one I ever heard came from the arse of no less a person than the Archbishop of Canterbury himself..... Ah, the "advantages" of sitting in the choir..... LTS |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: Jeremiah McCaw Date: 28 Sep 01 - 07:04 AM Had a friend who related that he was doing yoga one day, and tried a new posture which translated as "gas relief position" and was astounded to find it very accurately labeled. Said it was so bad that even the dogs ran howling from the room! Somewhere around the turn of the century (previous one, that is) there was a performer in the French music halls (read: "bordellos") known as "Le Petomaine" who was able to fart in pitch. I believe the "Marseillaise" was his show-stopper. ("Le Petomaine" derives from "peterade" -sp? - defined in my larousse as 1} a series of short sharp explosions; 2} a series of farts) (Even sillier sidelight: 'twas while in search for this definition that I accidently discovered the fine irony that in French the word for 'lesbian' is considered a masculine noun!) Trivia: homage to the above was paid by Mel Brooks in "Blazing Saddles". His governor character was named "William G. Lepetomaine". |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: Tattie Bogle Date: 28 Sep 01 - 09:15 PM My parents rescued an old golden labrador from a dog rescue centre: we soon realised why he had been abandoned by his former owners ( sounds just like Trvor's dog too ) 25 years ago I had the misfortune to work with an anaesthetist whose nickname was SBD (silent but deadly): his patients probably didn't need much nitrous oxide or halothane! Another medical colleague has this theory, which he asserted loudly at a meeting I went to, that no-one would be bothered with Irritable bowel syndrome if they just farted when they wanted to, and didn't hold it all in! And I could go on, but I have to go to bed and prrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmp down the bedclothes! Tattie |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: Mark Cohen Date: 28 Sep 01 - 09:43 PM A friend who grew up in Massachusetts but lived in France for a time tells of how she would ask people to repeat something they'd said by saying, "Repetez, s'il vous plait" (the first two e's should have an accent aigu, but I don't know how to do it). Only she pronounced it wrong (without the accents), and she later found out she'd been asking them to "Fart again, please!" It's now a standing joke with her bilingual children. Aloha, Mark |

A few years ago whilst working for Doncaster Libraries I had a farting experience par excellance. At the time I ran the Doncaster Folk Club and this required me to drink copious quantities of rather fine Guinness every Tuesday night. Guinness as most people know is the best fart makers next to beans known to mankind. My staff hated Wednesdays we were located in a samll office with 'no windows'.My desk was located with my back to the door, I felt a real cracker coming on and lifted my backside off the chair pointing my arse into the air and let rip a real thunderer. Unfortunately I hadn't noticed that a hush had just descended on the room because the Audio Visual Librarian who also happened to be a vicar's wife was stood behind me about to ask me a question about a request for some folk music. She got full blast. After much profuse apologies I could only think of the old joke 'How dare you fart before the Vicar's wife !! Sory I didn't know it was her turn !!' |

The little one ripped a huge gusty fart, and without missing a beat looked over at me and said with pure disgust, "Mommy!" The line cleared, and the cashier couldn't understand my inability to speak and the tears in my eyes. I've never been more proud of that child!

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: GUEST,Fartlover Date: 23 Aug 02 - 03:31 PM Well Jane? hold on who did the fart was it you or the audience member? Cause I some how was under the impression that they'd done the fart. And about the DC department store fart how do you know for sure if it was a kids fart did you ever see or witness the farter at the time before during and after the fart? How many females would even fess up to such a fart? I remember one time when my late Dad was alive that we went to this Sears department store you know we were looking for some jeans. To make a long story short a couple pants try ons later these to fair pretty black ladies walked in they were both wearing dresses. Any way they were with these two kids that were very animate and lively running around and what not. Somewhere down the line one of them farted. Now I'm not saying it was necessarily the kids or the ladies nor that it wasn't neither one of them either. But the way they chose to deal with this anal emmission seems to me indicative that the lady on the right who laughed her ass off directly after the fart and the one who kept telling her not to laugh might be the guilty party. Here's why the lady who kept trying to silence her then proceeded to spray past her her direction with her perfume bottle in full tot. Women generally try that manuever to cover up their own farts... However I'm not quite sure now that I think about it as to which lady did the deed... SA -rest your cursor on this SA if you want to know who I am. |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: Big Mick Date: 24 Aug 02 - 08:51 PM Growing up in the 50's and 60's in Michigan meant, in our house, that during the fall Sunday afternoons were spent in the living room with Da watching the Detroit Lions football game. There was Da, my brother Charley, myself, and my beagle Daisy Mae. There were very strict rules regarding this ritual. One was that one was not allowed to come into the living room and start a conversation about anything other than the game. This one applied mostly to my Mother. LOL. Another was that Da was to always have a fresh bottle of beer, one of which would invariably get thrown at the TV when the Lion quarterback, Milt Plumb comes to mind, did something stupid. Da always called him Plumb the Bum. Another part of the ritual was that at some point during the game, Da would let a monstrous, ass cheek clapping, stinky, fart. He would then shake his finger at poor Daisy Mae (who would be in her customary spot on the floor in front of the TV watching the game with us) and say "Daisy Mae, you dirty pup, you ought to be ashamed of yourself", which always brought a grin to my brother and my face. And poor aul Daisy would look at Da with her ears down. One Sunday while Daisy was laying there, her tail went straight up in the air, this whistling sound was heard, and the most God awful dry dogfood smelling fart came out of my pretty little hound. Before my brother and I even had time to laugh, Daisy turned around and looked squarely at Da, as if to say "Bernie, you dirty pup,...........". Charley and I laughed so hard that we had tears. The long suffering Miss Daisy Mae had her revenge. Mick |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: Dave Bryant Date: 12 Jan 04 - 06:11 AM A version of this joke is posted already, but I think that this is a more complete version. A man goes to the doctor and tells him that he just can't stop farting. "It's no great problem because they're silent and odourless" he tell the doctor, "You wouldn't realise it but I've dropped at least ten farts since I've been in here". The doctor gives hin a prescription and tells him to return in a week. At the next appointment, the man says "Those tablets didn't stop me farting at all, but now they smell absolutely disgusting". "Good", said the doctor, "We've sorted out your sinusitis - now we can work on your deafness". One girl I knew some years ago, had been educated at a convent boarding school and one of the things that (she claimed) they used to do in the dormitory at night was to fart into the top of an empty drinks can and then put a match to it to see how far it would skate down the polished wooden floor. They also used to steal altar candles from the nun's chapel and sculpt them with penknives and hot water into amazingly real-looking likenesses of male genitalia - she showed me the one that she had made. They must have all been quite disappointed when they saw the size of a real one ! |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: Charley Noble Date: 12 Jan 04 - 02:13 PM Dave- The same; good catch! My own copy of the 1601 recording drifted away around 1965; I think I lent it to Sandy Ives. Our old friends the Pulestons of Long Island, NY, send us a vinyl copy of the Great Farting Contest in the 1950's. "It's a Treblew", the contest judge exclaimed in wonder. And I'll always remember the tragic ending to the contest when the reigning champion squats to regain the lead: "He shit! The champion is disqualified!" Cheerily, Charley Noble |

I hope it's the real thing in which the Australian Paul Boomer pursues his challenge of the Grand International Title held by defending Champion, Lord Windeshmere. It's probably a rip-off!

Picture this, crawling along mud Henslers; a 2' diameter phreatic tube in the Gaping Ghyll system with about 8" of liquid mud in the bottom. You and the rest of the lads had had a few pints the night before. You're in the middle of the group, a couple in front and a couple behind. Suddenly the bloke in front lets rip. It's been brewing all night thanks to ale and has a paricularly stomach churning quality. No where to go for you or the fart. "Saved!" he says. There's no answer. |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: SueB Date: 13 Jan 04 - 11:25 AM Here's a musical reference to farting, from Guy Logsdon's "The Whorehouse Bells Were Ringing" and Other Songs Conwboys Sing. He collected from an old cowpoke called Riley Neal - it's called "Jimmie Tucker" and goes to the tune of "The Old Chisolm Trail." Oh, there was a little girl and she lived with her mother, And never on this earth was there such another. Come-a ti yi yupi yupi ti yi ya Come-a ti yi yupi, yupi ya. (2nd verse describing said female, omitted here.) There was a little man and his name was Jimmie Tucker, And he swore, by God, that he was gonna f**k 'er, Come-a ti yi yupi etc. He got her in the sh*thouse up against the wall, (more lyrics omitted here) Come-a ti yi yupi etc. He took her in the kitchen and thought he'd get some more, And the damned b*tch farted - blowed a hole through the floor. Come-a ti yi yupi yupi ti yi ya Come-a ti yi yupi, yupi ya. And here's another musical reference, from the same source, called "The Sea Crab," with alternate titles Good Morning Mister Fisherman, The Crab Fish, The Jolly Fisherman, Fisherman Have You Any Sea Crabs, and John Henry and the Crab. "The story recounts a humorous series of events that occur when a man takes a sea crab home, and for want of a better place, puts it in the chamber pot. Unaware of the guest in the pot, his wife relieves herself only to be bitten by the crab. While attempting to rescue her, the husband, too, is bitten; the crab holds him in an embarrassing position." Here are the relevant verses (relevant to this discussion of eructation, that is.) "Oh, Sal! Oh, Sal! Can't you let a little fart? Oh, Sal! Oh, Sal! Can't you let a little fart, To blow my nose and your ass apart?" Sing ho, sing ha. Sal, oh, Sal, she tried a little bit, Sal, oh, Sal, she tried a little bit, She filled John's face plum full of (rhyming word which I can't bring myself to mention goes here) Sing ho, sing ha. "Oh, Jackie, oh Jackie, get the horse and cart, Jackie oh Jackie, get the horse and cart, To pull my nose and your Mammie's ass apart. Sing ho, sing ha. It tickled those children plum to the heart, It tickled those children plum to the heart, To see the horse pull and to hear Mammy fart. Sing ho, sing ha. |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: Cluin Date: 14 Jan 04 - 12:23 AM some verses from "Kathusalem": ... Hi Ho Kathusalem Harlot of Jerusalem Prostitute of ill repute Daughter of the Baba He laid her down upon the grass Lifted her dress above her ass He grabbed his prick and made a pass Directly at Kathusalem Hi Ho... But she was low and underslung He missed her twat and hit her bung Planting the seeds of many a sone In the asshole of Kathusalem Hi Ho... Kathusalem, she knew her art She arched her back and blew a fart And blew the bastard all apart All over old Jerusalem Hi Ho... And when the moon is bright and red A tattered form sails overhead And rains down curses on the bed Of the Harlot of Jerusalem Hi Ho... Just so you're not alone, SueB. |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: Lonesome EJ Date: 14 Jan 04 - 12:46 AM The following excerpt from a Mudcat fiction piece : "Well, it was one time when RL decided he'd give up the roadhouse life and be a farmer. He had him a worthless ol Coondog name Tad. That ol dog could fart and clear a room in three seconds flat. He used to say 'Git, Tad!' when he'd hear Tad rip one and Tad'd leave the kitchen. It got to where RL didn't have to tell him anymore, and Tad would just cut one and leave on his own. Pretty soon, anytime Tad got up to leave, everybody else would make a run for it at the same time." Jessie began laughing, tears falling down his cheeks. "One time ol Tad was nosin around in some blackberry bushes and RL hears him rip one, and pretty soon this skunk comes runnin out." Jessie shook with laughter. "RL always said that was one hell of a fartin' dog could flush a skunk out of a blackberry bush." |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: Charley Noble Date: 14 Jan 04 - 08:50 AM You may have missed this new Mudcat collaborative ballad inspired by a recent news story entitled "Methane Sinks Ships": Words by Charlie Ipcar, Norris Dale and Mudcat Guest "Unwitting Muse", 2003 Tune: traditional "White Cockade" THE BLOW AT WITCH'S HOLE As we set out one evening, upon the Northern Sea, Headed out a-fishing for to earn our daily fee; Headed out to fish, me lads, we set our course so bold, When our ship was (when our ship was), When our ship was (when our ship was), Overwhelmed, dragged down the Witch's Hole! Our charts were fully up-to-date, so thought our Captain Brock, Avoiding every hazard, every shoal and rock, Yes, every shoal and rock, me lads, upon the Northern Sea; And we cours-ed (and we cours-ed), And we cours-ed (and we cours-ed, By the Witch's Hole, that lay athwart our lee. No rogue wave swept o'er us, no squid nor octopus, No giant whirlpool sucked us down, we had no time to fuss; There was no time to fuss, me lads, as we sank beneath the waves, But we all stood (yes, we all stood), But we all stood (yes, we all stood), Resolutely, so valiant and so brave. A silent threat but deadly, that methane from the Hole, Rising from the gassy depths, amidst the dark and cold, Amidst the dark and cold, me lads, like some monster from the deep; And it dragged us (yes, it dragged us), And it dragged us (yes, it dragged us), To the Witch's Hole, forever there to sleep. "It's suffocate or evacuate!" we heard our captain cry, As he pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his tearing eyes; As he pulled out a handkerchief, and held it to his nose, "We will never (no, we'll never), We will never (no, we'll never), Rise again from our odorous repose." This was no bathtub bubble or some silly fish's farce, But a blast of great proportion from the earth's own mighty arse, From the earth's own mighty arse, me lads, the methane did arise; And the water, (yes, the water), And the water, (yes, the water), Lost its density, and thus proved our demise. I was the sole survivor, me messmates drowned that day, The Coast Guard came a-racing up and snatched me from the wave, They snatched me from the wave, me lads, and saved me sorry skin, And I surely (yes, I surely), And I surely (yes, I surely), Would have drowned if I hadn't broken wind! I'm sure you'll agree that this ballad needs to be released to a wider audience. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: RE: Farting in Public From: GUEST,Boab D Date: 16 Jan 04 - 06:10 AM Hullo again well this has to be the best one ever well in my opinion it was so I will tell you. On a lovely romantic holiday in Vienna with the new girlfriend who had never farted in front of me ever. So I decided that we should do the touristy thing and she wanted to also so we went to the museum of modern art. No problem went straight to the top and worked our way down. Now I'm not knocking modern art but at the top it was wierd and the further you decended the worse it became. Anyway get to the bottom level and it was the most, well ,vile I suppose is the only word for it of guys pishing into beakers on video and spitting blood all over each other just wierd well anyway there was the girlfriend and I laughing at the absurdity of this trying to keep it in obviously as we dont want to offend the curators or the other tourists when we turned a corner and this guy was having a shit (on film) pulling his cheeks apart well she just started laughing and a wee well quite a big fart came out and everyone in the gallery looked at us and this poor lassie was dying of embarassment and laughter for obvious reasons. One of those ones where you had to be there but if you are ever feeling blue of really sad for about €10 go to the museum of modern atr in Vienna and start at the top and work your way down. The pleasure I get from just thinking about it is amazing. Dylan |

A ripper.....long lasting, sounds like tearing material(can be mistaken for trouser seams splitting)....(IF YOU'RE LUCKY) A blaster....speaks for itself.

Just as I was about to get to a quite technical bit the lady engineer literally lifted a leg and let rip. I tried not to be thrown off the subject in hand. She repeated the action a few more times, all with a dead pan expression on her face. Was this a comment on my presentation skills I have always wondered? |

I've heard that "being hoist on one's own petard" may refer to such type 'explosions' (although the alternative definition of "petard" as a small explosive device or a torpedo also seems to work; it seems that the "petard" military definitions is likely derived from 'small explosions' ... the "petere").
