For some reason, when I’m in school and trying to sleep, I turn my head sideways and rest it on my arm. I think it relaxes my epiglottis, because every time I wake up, I always have a stomach-full of air.

_ **BUUUUUUUUUUUUURP!** _

And for both your sakes, I hope your last meals before the burps had nothing to do with onions. Ugh.

Talk about embarrassing. I did a very, very stinky one cheek sneak earlier. Right as I finished, I hear “Hi, Tim.”

My sister’s very attractive friend had walked in whilst I was gassing.

It was, as I said, stinky. I pretended not to notice.

–Tim

Yesterday, I had an 45-second belch (now _that’s_ a guy thing…timing your belches) end half a second before my boss walked in. That’s what I call good timing.

I did a one cheek sneak in the middle of economics class once. I almost got away with it, until the very end, when it started making a LOT of noise.

I pretended to look surprised.

I’m big on the SBD: silent but deadly, wow. Great way to make a first impression.

Hmmmmmmmmm…I thought I heard thunder. Oh, it’s just you guys!  
My nine-year-old has perfected the art of belching an ENTIRE SENTENCE. He’s growing up into a man so fast.
