Have you ever passed gas in a meeting?

Happened today but it wasn't me. We all looked around uncomfortably because it was a stinker. No one got up to leave because that would be an admission of guilt. I know it came from a female coworker to my left a few chairs down the conference table. She was the only who looked around but gave no eye contact.

If you feel you have to let it out, would you not get up and bomb it in the restroom? I have only known one person who cannot control her gas. She was hot until she farted on me.

I had a client who was in his late 40s that would let em' rip, not just one, when meeting with his designer and myself. She would have this smile (they type that could burst out rolling on the floor type any second if I would just smile back) and stare right at me and continues. My timing has been off but one fine day, my dream came true. I was ready and let out a squeak with her and this client during our little job site meeting. She lost it, but so did I. He was a little shocked we were laughing so hard. We couldn't laugh at him because he pays the bills.

Oh, I was never able to do it again, due to poor timing. I wanted to so badly just to get a reaction out of her.

There is a rule about farting at your workstation ... as soon as you do it, someone will come to your desk and want to see things on your computer screen.

One advantage of decent nutrition is that you don't have a ton of gas. If you eat pizza, burgers and a bunch of other crap ... well ...

When I was by myself I used to let them go in lifts. I used to like the excitement of wondering if I would get out of the lift before the next person got in. AND knowing the next people in the lift could enjoy the pleasure of an excellent fart, as a special treat from me.

But my little game ended in tears when a bunch of people who knew me (this was when I worked at a bank) got in and started making "umm", "grrr" type sounds. I said it wasn't me but they harshly decided it was me.

We have a customer that is over 90. He is a true American hero. He fought in the battle of the bulge and has some amazing and heartbreaking stories.

He also gets the "walking farts" where with every step another fart is produced. If one is across the room it is pretty funny. Less so if you are the lucky person next to him. With every step he will say excuse me after every fart.

On the subject of age I find it amusing that older folks can fart liberally and not know it because they are deaf or pretend to be. It is as natural as breathing to some.

I actually carried around a fart machine in my pocket for a while. I had one co worker aghast that I would fart without care. I had to put it away when one day while bending over it went off with a customer present. She just turned and walked away while my coworker couldn't believe I farted in mixed company. That thing was fun...candid camera fun.

It really is as natural as breathing. It is just a normal bodily function. Society prefers it to be done in private, but some folks life life on the edge.

I know of another forum member that lives in another state that shall remain nameless that admitted he was at the grocery store and did a little "crop dusting" and just as he went from one aisle to the next some unfortunate shopper walked into his cloud of toxic fumes. He said even his own wife was laughing but she was not pleased.

The corollary to this is, the worse the smell, the better looking or higher up in the company the victim is.

I had a colonoscopy last year. The doctor & the nurse both told me to be sure to fart often and would not even let me go home until I farted several times. He told me to be sure the gas is all out. He did NOT put a time limit on that so I figure I am still under doctor’s orders to keep blowing and going. I figure if he would have put a time limit on farting if I needed to quit.

Is there anything else in life that is at the same time so disgusting, (the smell/pollution), and hilarious, (the sound)?

I always want to hear someone rip a well-timed fart when someone is pontificating or things are just generally too serious. There is nothing like the sound of good blast off a thin wooden chair, or a saxophone fart. The problem with the business meeting fart, (and most public farts), is that you only get the disgusting part and none of the hilarious part.

I worked with a Warrant Officer in the Navy; a tall red-haired guy we called Sully. Anyway, on the ship we have the ice cream machine (aka the 'Dog Machine'), and he had some sort of medical issue where ice cream made him fart alot. And Fart, he did! Routinely would walk into the ready room farting from one side of the room to the other. They always sounded Super-Wet too!! I feel sorry for his wife.

I think that's because once you get to a certain age, you just don't give a damn anymore.
