Automatic Gas Emissions

in Odor Stories

On my 10 1/2-hour international flight, I got stuck behind a man who dealt silent-but-deadly farts at regular intervals. It was about every fifteen or twenty minutes. I could almost set my watch on it. What’s more, he would look around before, during and after each one. My entire row was a little bit green around the gills by the time the flight was over.

It was like a very gross version of those air fresheners that you can set to spray every few minutes.

I think that guy could do a gig at one of our national parks imitating a geiser!

the case of farticus erupticus is quite natural holding it in on that length of flight is unreasonable and potentially damaging to the person attempting to do so further more, the person likely was digesting beans, vegetables and/or fruit, all of which are essential for health

How about all the Women that put on so much perfume they reek of it? I don't know why they have to soak in the entire bottle and then you have to sit by them smelling it the entire flight.

Was that on Tokyo to Minn/St. Paul? It might have been me doing the dealing. Bwahahahahaha

Seriously though, sometimes you gotta let 'em rip, or else you'd be hitting the bathroom every fifteen minutes.

Now theres a market niche to exploit in this depressed economy! Become an in-flight fart-huffer. Its the next best thing to legalizing drugs. Develop a reality show in which you pinpoint foreign cultures via blindly smelling global villagers' flatulence.

I have flown many times from the middle east back home to the US. The food and water in *&^%istan is enough to cause most people problems. Many times, I swear I could have inflated the life jacket through the seat, probably sounded like I was doing duck calls in the Grand Canyon.

Take some "Beano" when you fly.

Farting is natural, but when you know you're having a problem like that GO TO THE BATHROOM!

If flatulence is rotten smelling, it's usually an indication that it is time to hit the bathroom. Pretty nasty of him not to take care of it.
