Sorry, man.  
It was the ice cream. It always does that to me. Or maybe the beans I had with dinner.  
I won’t do it again.

I farted. You see, holding it in was hurting my intestines. And frankly, I would rather my intestines not hurt than you smell my fart.

It wasn’t a fart. My chair just makes that noice sometimes. See? :wiggles around in chair to demonstrate farting noice:

Anybody in here a true gourmet?

You should be able to smell the fart and identify what the person had for dinner last night.

In this case, I think it was fried skunk and kimchi… :eek:
