Would it be without a parallel if I claimed, that my flatulence makes ladies faint?
Or is it merely a case for proving, that my charm is irresistible?
Everybody farts in public, no matter their internal mental processes.
When you've got to let go, you've go to let go.
I agree with Unnamed, it does remind us we're human. No one's shit doesn't stink. I just say "excuse me" whether I sneeze, cough or fart, and treat them the same. If you act like it's normal, you give permission to others to act like normal.
Maybe farts are a test: people who love you regardless, are your true friends you trust not to judge you. Like a "reverse mating call". Instead of attracting a mate, whoever you DON'T chase away must love you unconditionally. Or is drunk senseless and doesn't care. Either way, it screens people around you. Like bad jokes, bad BO, bad karaoke. Only real friends claim to know you.
