WTF, mannnnnnn???:eek::eek::eek: I can be snuggled up behind her, and all of a sudden, there’s this noxious, disease-ridden, _odor_ wafting through the Ogdamm bedspread, and all I was doing was lying there, keeping all _my_ bodily odors in check, because, after all, she’s a _lady_, right? Hell, I don’t even SNORE! If I hear myself do that, I wake up right away and there’s a second bedroom (bunk-beds) I can go to and I won’t bother her with that noise. Oh, BTW, don’t worry. She doesn’t check in on the Dope that much, so go ahead and answer whatever you want to. So when I recoil in distaste, she says something like, “Oh Tee-Hee! Musta been the black-eyed peas we had!”;);)😉 And _what_??? I’m supposed to “enjoy” them one last time as they leave her intestines, or what???:eek::eek::eek: The “Silent Seepers” (George R.I.P. Carlin called 'em that) are gonna do us in, guys! I THINK that’s what’s causing the “ozone holes”!:eek::eek: * * * Ah, Jeeez.🙂 All that up there was just satire, ya know? 🙂 I truly love my D, and if she ever farted in the tub, I’d be the first to “bite the bubbles”.😃 (Yep, _another_ GC quote! Og! I miss him, don’t y’all???) Quasi ---

Don’t you have any animals in the house she can blame it on? Sheesh. ETA: I blame my farts on my cat all the time, even when she isn’t in the room. I think my husband may suspect something. 😃 ---

Q What is the definition of a sadist? A Someone who farts in bed then fluffs the eiderdown. Seriously, we have traced global warming to my husband. Not the cows, him. He has given up beans and bread for the sake of the planet.😉 ---

Oh please, in the spirit of the children’s book, [_Everyone Poops_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsLqKAvKiQM), everyone farts. If you’re complaining about her’s, she is somewhere complaining about yours. As far as snoring, I know from personal experience, you can’t always hear your own. My husband complained about my snoring for years. I didn’t believe him, but to apease him I had a sleep study. Now I have to wear a nose hose (C-PAP) at night. ---

Women are evil and sneaky. They don’t like hairy legs on men, so they get us to snuggle up to them at night. Then they will cut farts that burn the hair right off your legs and out of your nose. Then they giggle about it. ---

Heh-heh! I **love** it and can see it’s a _universal_ problem which “binds” us all together, as it were! 🙂 BTW, I looked up George Carlin’s quotes, and I don’t think he ever mentioned “biting the bubbles in the bathtub” (correct me if I’m wrong, though). IIRC (and I don’t too often), that came from my high school days and was the definition of what a **Frap** is: “A guy who bites the bubbles in the bathtub”. Some funny answers in this thread though, thanks. But, to keep from bein’ slapped upside da head, I think I’d better just keep 'em to myself, okay?😉 Thanks Q ---

I defer to **Ellen Cherry’s** correction, but I do seem to remember that in high school ( **after** I grew my hair out and started playing in a rock group - long story) we did once use the term “Frap” (a bastardization of the word “Frappe’”, perhaps?) to define anyone who would do that. However, I dare _not_ tell the lovely D I would do that! :o Despite her noxious fumes, she’s a precious lady. Q ---

Um, okay, **Bos** , but the “frikkin roses” smell: does that come “out the _ying-yang_” or “out the _wazoo_”?😉 I know the two are close together. Just making sure. Oh, and the “common sense” part? Never had it, never will. 😉 How long have you known me, and shouldn’t you know that by now, my friend? 😉 J/K:D Q ---

Simple solution: eat more beans yourself and FIGHT BACK! **Typo Knig** and I have a tradition of of one of us letting 'er rip and then loudly apologizing, while the other loudly howls “Oh my gawd, what did you eat and HOW LONG HAD IT BEEN DEAD!”. We figure we both have very healthy hearts 😃 ---

My beagle Nordberg sleeps under the covers at the foot of the bed. When the SO lets loose .I have seen Nord just get up and go sleep on the couch. I was watching the Tv in the living room a few years ago when my wife was erupting in bed. My son got out of his bed in his room down the hall and slammed the door. The dogs were in the living room looking in the direction of our bedroom like it was full of pit bulls. ---
