News Flash Everybody Farts!

Published

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 only poop at home or at my mom's, unless I am sick, or on vacation.

Yea, guess I failed that developmental stage!

Me, too. There's just something about not being in the comfort of a familiar area that makes it hard to poop. And I have a vacation coming up where I'll be sharing my hotel room with a complete stranger! :crying2:

I am a big time camper and I don't mean the type with campgrounds and toilets and showers - I mean stepping behind a tree and digging a cat trench. Never understood people who can only poop at home (My gastro actually told be it is very bad for you to hold it in all day and can lead to all kinds of problems a psychiatrist told me it's actually a form of mental illness) But I have always worn my MI with pride anyway.

I once peed outside at a Judas Priest concert and got poison ivy on my butt.

I didn't fart, though.

Dead patient farts are scary. When you turn them for post mortem care and you hear the psssssssssh...[/QUOT

It freaked me out big time when it happened to me a couple of weeks ago when my patient died. It was my first death and I was a little freaked to begin with. But then all kinds of fluids and noises started coming out. The nurses teased me the rest of the day!!

Haha! Far! I went camping with my SO (significant other) and we took some, er, shore leave to hang out on a secluded beach.

We both had poison ivy all over our bodies after we returned home!

Fun times!! Lolol!!

I once had a patient request a new roommate because "The lady over there broke wind twice today and did not offer an apology"

And there is of course the classic:

Lyle: [after the farting] How 'bout some more beans, Mr. Taggart?

Taggart: [fans his hat in the air] I'd say you've had enough!

I was under the impression that women did not poop or fart.

What is this sorcery?

One of the first guys I dated after college grew up in a household with 4 boys, only girl in the house was his mom. He honestly believed that girls did not fart! He knew that we pooped, but thought that we never farted. He was in for quite a shock when he hung out with me and my (female) roommate.
