Farting is considered rude and low class in public. We are supposed to respect our elders and those tasked to be our leaders, teachers and medical professionals. I cannot tell you how much nurses fart. It’s remarkable. I know it’s a sketchy hobby but I do notice these things in my close contact, that I have way too often. Farting machines. They are. I don’t mean to disparage nurses. My theory is, the walking down long halls affords them a sense of anonyminity. So they unburden. I say let ‘er rip. (Preferably before you enter where I am)😃 ---

What’s hilarious is when I fart in class, and all of the students set about blaming each other for it. ---

When we were in HS, one of my buddies, whose seat was in the back of the classroom farted, loudly. Everyone turned around. To this day, I don’t know how he pulled it off as most people’s instinct is to be embarrassed but somehow when everyone turned around, he was glaring at the kid next to him, so everyone thought that kid did it. Only learned it was him because he fessed up sometime after the class let out. OBL, who was a very loving, but not the smartest of canine’s would be lying there on the floor & squeak one out. He would lift his head & look behind him as if to figure out where that noise came from. ---

Oh Bayliss farts and is always embarrassed by it. The Chihuahuas have been known to bark back at Bayliss’ farts. Of course theirs belie their size in noise and aroma! 💨 🤢 ---

One of our dogs leaps away in fear at what squeaks out of his ass. Cracks me up. ---
