Because we’re too polite to fart out in public and we must wait 'til we get to the bathroom? [sub]Oh, wait…[/sub] 😃 ---

You meant to say “men” didn’t you? Mind you, being a man I couldn’t give you an athorative opinion on whether women fart when they pee. 🙂 ---

I want to know how you know this “fact”. Have you been hanging out in the ceiling of the ladies restroom again? 🙂 ---

Maybe Themiss00 is a girl who has been terrorised by women’s farts recently? ---

Well, I haven’t noticed my fiancee doing that. But she does tend to blow her nose when she’s tinkling. Amusingly, the combined sound is an uncanny mimickry of an automatic drip coffeemaker. ---

Because our plumbing is more on the inside-and the two do not get along. ---

Hmm would you rather they farted while in bed with you? ---

Oh, the **ladybug** does that, too. And they’re always SBDs. Me: “Oh My GOD!” [hides head under pillow] Her: [in tiny little voice] “sorry.” Me: [muffled] “It’s OK, sweetie.” And of course if I fart: Me: [Riiiiiip!] “'scuse me.” Her: “Eww. Gross! God, Rick, that’s awful! What did you eat? Don’t flap the covers! Oh!” Me: “I said, excuse me!” Her: “That doesn’t make it not stink!” [glare] Every damn time, I swear. And to make matters worse, early in our courtship, I told her that if ever we were in public, and one of us was responsible for a suspicious noise or odor, she could blame it on me. Wrong thing to do. _Wrong._
