But, dammit, farts are funny! When my daughter was about 4, we drove down to Florida to visit my parents. This was also the trip when we found out that she gets carsick. Two puke stops on the way down, plus one stop at the car-wash vacuum.
As my mother’s showing us around town the next day, Little Stofskette tells us that we might want to pull the car over. She bends over, begins the technicolor yawn, and at the same moment floats an air biscuit of such duration and auditory volume that all I could do, the man who taught her “pull my finger,” was applaud.
You ain’t gonna believe this Bean, but I was laughing so hard at your post, that I farted! Right here on screen!
Do we call that synchronicity, or what?
If laughter is the best medicine, then anything that makes us laugh must be good for us, right? Makes me wonder who the first person to ever think a fart was funny was? Musta been a kid!
I wrote in another thread that anytime my Dad (in his later years) farted at the dinner table, it was very important that me and my brother not make eye-contact. (My father was ex-military and we used to have to dress for dinner).
Quasi (who would never scrape his shoe on the floor to disguise a fart - unless I was in a tux, or at a funeral :D)
But what if your poop lands directly on the porcelain, while the water level is down, and you end up leaving skid marks? I don’t get embarrassed about odors, but I dread leaving visible evidence. I’ll flush six times afterwards to avoid that. (Sometimes a brush is at hand, but I’m damned if I’ll touch that thing…who knows who else has?)

On the screen? That gives new meaning to the word “splort”!
I’ll never forget the time when I was younger and went to the bathroom at church (just #1), there was a little kid in the stall next to me with his mother. His words exactly “Mom there’s someone pissing”. It took all I had not to crack up:D .
