I have studied farts a lot. It started when I had an admin who disappeared one day without notice, only to find out that when she filed for unemployment, it was because she could not work with me due to the smell of my farts. She went on to amplify that I laughed when I farted when we were alone in my office with the door closed. We had to bring in an arbitrator, and I had to testify.
Do you fart?
Yes, I do. (In fact, my research has established that the average person farts 18 times a day. Are you doing your part?)
What do you do when you fart?
My mother taught me to say excuse me, and that's what I do.
Have you ever laughed at xxxx after you farted?
No.
I even got a letter from my Dr. saying that after I complained to him of diarrhea and constipation, it was consistent with a diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome. And that this condition is also often associated with the passage of large amounts of intestinal gas through the rectum.
We won the case.
Of course, since then, I pay attention to news on farts. I can't help it.
My most current learning is that when you fart, it helps the immune systems of those around you. Again, are you doing your part?
... and it was Benjamin Franklin who said / wrote:
'Fart Proudly"
Ben was good.
A true public service announcement! Who knew that contributing to herd immunity could be this… natural? Keep breaking the stigma (and the wind)!
