Gas Passers Sitting Happy (Consider it the anti-whoopee cushion)

It's the GasBGon flatulence filter, and it's helping provide relief for thousands of gas passers who have cleared rooms or blamed the dog for far too long.

"People tell us, 'Thank you for giving my life back. Now I can go out in public again,'" Sharron Huza, the cushion's creator, said in an interview. "They'll bring it with them to the movie theatre, to work, in the car or on the airplane."

Huza said more than 1,000 cushions have been sold in just over a year on the market. The company has been approached by people interested in taking GasBGon products into Belgium, Britain, Asia and Canada, according to James Huza, the company president.

"Second-hand flatulence knows no borders," he said.

The Huzas, a husband-and-wife team, say the cushion uses charcoal liner technology to filter out both malodorous smells and head-turning noises. The fabric is washable, and a removable foam filter muffles sounds while the activated carbon absorbs odors...

...Cushions can take about 450 toots before they need a filter change, and come in several fashion patterns with names like "The Musical Solo" and "Silent But Deadly."...

I can only imagine that carrying this is slightly less embarrassing than carrying a hemorrhoid "donut."

Whoaa! We're talking serious engineering here.

Takes all the fun out of having my boys pull my finger! (I loving having sons!)

We're also talking flatulence that could blister the chrome on a bumper.

Calling Mayor Bloomberg...

[UKCajun]

Get the chemical engineers on it too.

"Why would anyone want to deprive themselves the inherent comedic value of a strategically released SBD only moments before the elevator doors open?"

Confucious say, "Hot, crowded elevator smells different to a midget."

[tacticalogic]

Preferably one who specializes in chemical warfare countermeasures.

"Fart underwear are next... "

Q: How can you tell when a woman is wearing pantyhose?

A: When she farts, her ankles swell up.

[Corin Stormhands]

Hmmmmm...

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

No doubt carbon filter underwear are soon to follow.

They're already here and here.

From the GasBGon website:

Yet, clinical studies show that the average person produces one to three pints of gas and passes gas 14 times a day.

Call it 2 pints per day x 250 million people x 365 days per year = 182,500,000,000 pints per year.

With all that energy, we may have a solution for OPEC.
