It’s so much the smell that bothers me as when it burns my eyes.

Mr Fox, a club regular for 20 years, said: "I am happy to oblige them, there is no problem. I do get a bit windy - I am an old fart now."

Guess that end the “here, pull my finger” tricks for the visiting grandchildren.

Don’t laugh, Democrats are looking at banning farting altogether to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

From the article “I think someone has complained about the noise. I am a loud farter, but there is no smell.”
Ha! No smell! We must be related! Actually I do it in reverse. They are silent but deadly.

It’s [not] so much the smell that bothers me as when it burns my eyes. LOL... at the local watering hole that I frequent, there's a guy like this. Just DAMN. Makes yer eyes bleed. It's so intense that it really seems impossible that such a gas could come from anything that is still alive.
Which is nothing compared to what happens when he heads for the bathroom. Dear Lord. He's been known to clear the place. Really. Not kidding. Everybody goes gasping out the door.

But they want us all to eat rice and beans to save the planet! That guarantees human methane production for ages.
