    I was having a day off this week, and the wife was getting ready for work, and the daughter for college, when all of a sudden an almighty sound, not too dissimilar to a WW2 Spitfire diving, filled the room.

    Quick as a flash I finished it off with a dagga dagga dagga dagga dagga (Sound of a machine gun.) and both the daughter and I then burst into absolute hysterics.

    Wife wasn't impressed, but she started it with the botty burp, but then after much hilarity, she couldn't help but laugh.
    That's my mutt in the picture above.

    My favourite place to pump is the car. After a day of holding in stress-related trapped wind, I brace myself on the pedals and let go! I'm always scared I'll get pulled over though. How embarrassing would that be? "Could you roll down your window please ma'am?" "Erm. Really, really not. Sorry officer."
    A policeman I used to drink with regularly and go down to the indian afterwards told me a story.
    We used to egg (sorry :D) him on about drinking enough and going out for a good hot curry when he had to work the next day and one time he'd been up late, had some hot curry and was dozing in a jam sandwich the morning after, he let rip a massive smelly one and was enjoying it when some tourist knocked on the window and wanted to ask him something.
    He had to open the window and the tourist apparently made some large steps backwards and a disgusted face :rotfl:
    I never heard what happened after that, as we were all too busy falling off our barstools laughing :p

    Myself, if I've had a chilli, I know it's going to be bad, so I try to hold it in, till I'm in a open air area, or in the car with the family ;)

    The worst for me, is when we spend time with the inlaws, we have to stay over for a couple of days and they ply me with copious amounts of lager, which is very gassy for me and results in large stomach pains, or rooms full of disgusted relatives :o normally both :rotfl:
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    * Wiping tears of laughter from eyes * :rotfl:

    Mum used to feed the dog mature cheddar sometimes. It had a predictable effect .... silent but very violent :eek:

    We always made the dog sit near Dad, who lost his sense of smell some years previously ;):D :cool:
  • I've banned my hubby from drinking cider and lager is also coming very close to a ban - they make his farts stink.

    We all have our own 'brands' at home. So we always know whodunnit! ;) The frequent cry in the butterfly household is 'that's not one of mine!'

    But I'm the only one who gets away with it because I have a diagnosed illness, i.e. IBS. Everyone else is just rude and stinky. ;)
  • Been with hubby 12 years and have never farted in front of him. I'm not prudish i just chose not to! Saying that I'm sat here in agony with trapped wind!
    Hubby never farted infront of me until he saw me in labour with DD. lets just say I lost all my dignity (ladies use your imagination!), he says after watching that, he let it all go!:)
  • IBS = letting it out when needed.
