 Apparently some farts can be quite pleasant. Not my opinion I might add, I was told this by a vegetarian of all people. OK I grant you your own odour isn't that offensive to yourself while others are gagging away alongside you.
Quite pleasant, I THINK NOT.
What do you lot think?

 I totally disagree. Some of my very own (vegetarian) farts are rank, and would curdle milk.
Generally, the act of farting can be a relief, but to be honest, it's not that nice, particularly if you've been on the Old Peculiar the night before and confidence is, as they say, low.

I agree with Alex. I'm on the old health kick at the moment eating more fruit, veg, homemade soups, fibre etc etc and my farts are making my eyes bleed. Its a good thing I have an office to myself and yes the windows are wide open.

 Well some farts can smell less unpleasant than others, I'm sure you'll all agree!
|
 |
 Are we talking smell or taste?
|
 |
 TASTE????!!
|
 |
 Smell Darren, although I'm sure you can almost taste them if you put your head under the duvet and create a little cocoon straight after dropping one, not that I've ever tried this of course, I'm too much of a lady.

 There's a world of difference between saying a fart is quite pleasant and some farts smell less pleasant than others!
I have to say that I've never farted and thought to myself, now that smells quite pleasant!
Incidentally, quite pleasant makes it sound like your mouth might water a bit on smelling the offending odour.
|
 |
 Well I could say that lots of things smell quite pleasant but they don't necessarily make my mouth water, like roses for instance.
|
 |
 What about Opel Fruits? Now, they're actually MADE to make your mouth water.
|
 |
 Some farts can be a bit chewy, but more eye-watering.

 I have to agree with Alex, ban veggies I say!!!!
I once worked with one whose staple diet seemed to be "bubble & squeak" (that's mashed potatoe and cabbage to the uninitiated)
You should try driving an Ambulance with one head sticking out of the window on a freezing winter's night!!! I am sure the right side of my face is less sensitive as a result!!!
That was one good thing about accepting promotion from the road!!!!
|
 |
 And we used to get through some vomit bowls, I can tell you, and that was not from the patients either!!!!!!!
|
 |
 We were brought up not to fart in our family,and I have to say that I still don't fart myself and neither do any of my friends. I think anyone who does is disgusting. The Queen doesn't do it so why should you?

 It sends shivers down my spine thinking back, he was the worse type of farter, you know the "silent" type. There was absolutley no warning, one minute breathing fresh air, the next, suffocating and watching the thing crawl alone the bulkhead. He even had the cheek to blame the pateitn when he was riding in the back.
I had even thought of wearing an O2 mask, but it would not reach into the driving seat!
And I agree with you Marcus, "One should not FORT, or to put in politely, fluff in ones company."

 I'm sure that meat eaters pong just as much as veggies. The offensiveness of the smell is after all subjective. As a lady mine are of course always fragrant!
|
 |
 I'm puerile, so find farts rather amusing. Sorry, can't help it.
|
 |
 Actually Haley NO!
Scientific fact! human systems cannot digest the enzimes in vegitation or the cellulose in the cells that causes the rotting smell of the vegitation .
Vegitarian Farts are ALWAYS going to be potent than FLESH eaters. (Just ask your local Gorilla!!!)
|
 |
 Tony, ssshhh! I'm trying to stick up for veggies!
|
 |
 Good on you Hayley, although I don't eat meat and things can get pretty toxic. I would say that alcohol has more of an effect than vegetables though. Something to do with the digestive system not being able to deal with alcohol perhaps?
