Ever so inobtrusively sidle away from your nearest co-worker.
You turn to the shyest person in the room and blame her. She will not mount a defense.
This is sorta like when chased by a shark all you have to do is out swim your slowest swimmer friend.
Imagine the psychological trauma that shyest person will have to suffer…

For the love of Og, somebody restrain me!! Please!!! (Something about this unleashes the 12 year old boy in me.)
Do nothing. There’s no reason to call attention to it. If someone is bothered, it’s their problem, not yours.
Oh yeah… One more.

After said toot, let out a very loud Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". That should do it.
If deferring the blam were even remotely possible, rest assured that I would have done so.
As it sits, I am working with a nutritionist on a change in diet.
I also did speak with my manager about it, in case there were complaints to HR (which is not unheard of in my workplace–we have a number of very petty, gossipy people here).
She laughed so hard she was in danger of hyperventalation.
