Not funny. Most of us like to pretend that “we” are the
exceptions to the human condition of passing gas. Yes.
Hope she recovers well & sorry it happened to her. :o(

While we’re talking science ...... Learned from my son you can be sitting on a foam pillow / cushion and get up while letting a big one. The pillow will hold the smell And can be moved to another location then squeezed with remarkable effect.

Probably not good to do around smokers.

“I suppose you expect me to talk?”

“No, Mr. Bond, I expect you to fart and catch on fire!”

An alternate scene from the movie Goldfinger.

We use air or carbon dioxide. These days combustion doesn’t happen, but in the old days when mannitol or sorbitol were used as purges, it did happen. It was always catastrophic.

Yeah its an accelerant/oxidizer but given what is around it, in this breakdown, it ought to be noted it will make things worse.

“....laser being applied to her cervix.”

I wouldn’t know, but I would guess that might have been the “cause” of the flatulence.

No kidding. What ever happened to tooting, or she ripped one?

I'm not kidding you, I used to have a little old lady neighbor who referred to it as "leaving a bunny", as in "Ooooh, he left a bunny in church!"

Still tend to smell foul!

“farted”?
“Journalism at it's finest.”

I'm pretty sure that is the scientific term. Busting Azz is just rude.

I believe the standard medical jargon is: (the patient) “stepped on a frog”.
Here, “ ... and fried her ‘taint’, always folowed by “O the hugh manatee!” to chase away evil spirits.

It’s a real danger with use of a laser. One way to prevent it is to place a packing of vaseline gauze in the rectum to prevent escape of flatus (farts) during the surgery.

I’d say you’ve had enough.
