[stevewool]

Call it what you want but can anyone explain why it smells so bad sometimes yet other times it dont smell at all?

Ahh ... the silent ones are often the smelliest Steve ... ... especially a few hours after you've eaten chicken!

They have a variety of 'flavours' don't they? Eggy ones seem to be the worst. Only the smell of dried fish can top it when one of those gets launched.

And they or you dont have to eat these for the smell to take over the house

I've always wondered why bad smells in general override good smells.

I think in nature bad smells indicate something that should be avoided. We wouldn't eat something that tastes putrid. It's like nature's warning system.

Everyone at some point has gambled on a fart and lost.....

I was the champion farter and belcher in my year at school, as well as the loudest sneezer. All generated at will, especially during prayers in morning assembly.

........ reminds me of Verse 4 of a hilarious (not so little) ditty I recall hearing in the Male Dormitory of a Christian youth camp I once attended back in 1966 ... on the sacred Isle of Iona of ALL places.

Alas ... the rest is (shall we say) unrepeatable on a forum such as ours - but feel free to take a peek!

I think its the bacteria that causes the smell

... "BOTTOM" line is, farting's simply nature's way of releasing the build~up of gases in the intestines and, as such, it is a perfectly normal, inescapable practice that has been common to ALL mammals - ranging from the earliest dinosaur right up to the newborn human infant - ever since time began. Indeed, there's an old saying, understood to've been attributed to the Scots Bard, Robert Burns:

"Whaur'er ye be
Let yer ain wind blaw free!"

OK ... ... there's a limit - a time and place. But, IMO, the only thing offensive about a fart, is the odour it tends to create. And, Steve ... your thread's just a bit of harmless, light hearted fun.

Exactly Arthur, if the subject line of the thread is offensive to anybody, why on earth would they read it and then complain ?

Dont you mean Gone With The Wind, or is that the book

[malchard888]

I work with a guy w could fart for the England team it maybe because he drinks alcohol every night and is fond of cabbage, a lethal combination perhaps.

[cheekee]

I bought a fart book as a kid when we were on holiday.

Used to really giggle reading it.

[stevewool]

Thank you for the rep, Michael, oops sorry, wrong one. Thank you Arthur

[Michael Parnham]

Thank you for the rep, Michael, ups sorry wrong one, Thank you Arthur

Flatulence is the word that ought to have been used, it's a much more respectable title!

I could not spell flatchewlance and Ems had never heard of that word too, so she could not spell it

If you used the rhyming slang term "jam Tart" maybe those more sensitive chaps in this forum who have maybe led a sheltered life wouldn't feel so offended hehe
