I have read a couple of posts lately where people are complaining about people farting breaking wind, passing gas etc...
What exactly is the big deal? The average person farts 14 to 20 times a day and if you say you don't fart you're either lying or you are an alien species.
Yes it can be gross and smell bad but it's like poop it just happens sometimes.

I never meant to say farting is socially acceptable unless you are a Llama or specific species of goat that communicate with the rest of the herd by farting (Really it's true). But some people like myself who have had extensive colorectal surgery and lived to tell about it can't always stop it from happening due to anatomical issues. I'm not proud of it but it is a part of who I am. When ever I know it's likely to happen I step outside or into the restroom but it is sometimes unavoidable. My dad who had colon cancer would rip off some really loud ones then look around with perfect innocence for "Barking Spiders".Hppy
I have never heard anyone else call farts "barking spiders" besides my mother!
Toot tone, anyone?
Oh man, we LOVE our farts on my post-surg floor. Where there's farts, there's sure to be a BM not far behind....
I had spent the whole day with a sweet, traditional LOL recovering from valve repair surgery. The surgeon was doing evening rounds, and asked how she was doing, and she very proudly told him "I pooted today!" I wish I had a camera for the resultant look of surprise, discomfort and amusement.
