Sing to the tune of Petula Clark's "Don't sleep in a Subway"


This is funny:

Well, I guess you can fart. Just don't light a match.

Funny story....I was on a flight and smelled sulphur. I called one of the stewpersons, who also smelled the sulphur.

Nothing came of it.

As I was deplaning, the stewperson whispered in my ear that another passenger had fessed up...she had struck a match to avoid giving gaseous offense to her fellow passengers.

I had a good chuckle on the way off the plane.

Garrison Keillor "invented" a product that turns the odor of gas into something else, like the smell of freshly-baked pumpkin pie.

Wouldn't that be nice for airline flights, to smell all those goodies being baked instead?

Not if I knew what I was really inhaling!

I suppose it could have been worse. she could have had "The Farster."

This is a length of clotheshanger bent into a "U" shape. Between the top ends are rubber bands, and on the rubber bands are metal washers.

You wind up the washers and sit on it. Then you make a noise like you're having some distress, lift your rear and let the washer unwind. Sounds like...yeah, you guessed it. All the noise with none of the smell.

Works best when you are sitting on a leather or vinyl seat.

George Carlin: "You're own fart smells okay. MY, THAT'S FAIRLY DECENT!!!"

Either that, or drinking in the dorm late at night.

ANOTHER MIRACLE OF SUPER-SCIENCE!


I'm also reminded of the Paul Frees narration from "War of the Worlds" (1953):

"FOUGHT WITH THE TERRIBLE WEAPONS OF SUPER-SCIENCE!!!"

I wonder if the late Italian actor, Vittorio Gassman, was banned from flying for fear of his doing this very thing?

His name always cracked me up when I was a kid. Apparently Shelley Winters had no "fear of flying" with him- at least for a time.

No, but Albert Glasser and Philip Glass are on the FEA's "Guilty By Association" list.

Since this thread opened, I traveled once on a long distance bus ride. I was seated next to a VERY lovely young woman, in very tight trousers.

Who thought that no one could smell her farts.

Just be thankful she didn't blow up under all that pressure.

I must be getting old. For the life of me, I can't remember ever posting this. 2006 is like a whole other lifetime it seems.

It reminds me of my cousin who used to always say, "Do you mind if I smoke?" and he'd quickly add "No, do you mind if I fart?"

Ah, the good old days.

Others bump threads of mine I have no recollection of starting all the time!

No, dearie. She was RELEASING pressure every few minutes, and heedless to the atmospheric havoc.

There is more room on the outside than on the inside.

That goes for farts....and for airplanes.

Something to ponder.
