honesttom » neu1 years ago
I think the strained look suggests it's that thing when you've been holding it in for ages and ages, and then when you finally decide let it out you can't.
How can one cover up a fart?
There is a company called Fartypants that sells underwear designed to absorb the odor of farts. If you should be caught without your Fartypants, another ploy is to blame the dog or cat, if one should be present, or complain about how the wind must be blowing from the direction of the paper mill.
As for the sound... if you are in a large group of people, act oblivious and innocent, or glance quickly at the person next to you, as if you think he/she did it. Other strategies include coughing or suddenly moving your chair so that people think that they misheard the fart. If you are with one other person, you can act as if nothing happened, and the other person may believe he was mistaken in thinking he heard a fart.
Address the problem of farting loudly in a public restroom as follows: use a handful of loose toilet paper, cover your butt hole and it will muffle the farting; my friends and I call it the 'Buff Muff'!
Depending upon the company, another strategy is not to cover it up, but to proudly proclaim the fart as your own grand accomplishment and to issue a challenge to the others to outdo that one if they think they can.
You should see Ray's gameplan to get out of buying feminine products.

How can one cover up a fart?
There is a company called Fartypants that sells underwear designed to absorb the odor of farts. If you should be caught without your Fartypants, another ploy is to blame the dog or cat, if one should be present, or complain about how the wind must be blowing from the direction of the paper mill.
As for the sound... if you are in a large group of people, act oblivious and innocent, or glance quickly at the person next to you, as if you think he/she did it. Other strategies include coughing or suddenly moving your chair so that people think that they misheard the fart. If you are with one other person, you can act as if nothing happened, and the other person may believe he was mistaken in thinking he heard a fart.
Address the problem of farting loudly in a public restroom as follows: use a handful of loose toilet paper, cover your butt hole and it will muffle the farting; my friends and I call it the 'Buff Muff'!
Depending upon the company, another strategy is not to cover it up, but to proudly proclaim the fart as your own grand accomplishment and to issue a challenge to the others to outdo that one if they think they can.

Covers the flatus cycle, makeup of your average flatus and aberrations therein, and field work based on hanging around ladies doing :('s all the damn day. The basic course is sufficient for your layman, in my opinion.

You are driving in a car, just the two of you, no radio. She does a :(
SOLUTION: Make a concerned comment about the condition of the automobile, i.e., "I think the AC belt is slipping again, it could get stuffy in here." Roll the windows down. If this is too obvious, suggest a more serious automotive issue and stop the car to inspect it.

You and the lady are on a long-distance bus, traveling through a land rich in fossil fuel deposits. It is four hours to your destination. She does a :(
Solution:Look out the opposite window and point out that you have just passed another sour-gas flare. Then think of the past two years, bite the bullet, and offer her a lit match and a knowing wink. Sit in awkward silence for three and a half hours. Take the bus back alone.
