Dogs or babies can be blamed equally well.

I once walked into a workplace kitchen where my friend was making a cup of tea. Another colleague walked into and said "mmm rissoles! Someone has something yummy for lunch". There were no rissoles of course - it was my friend's blast on the brown bugle just moments before she walked in! So perhaps blaming food can work sometimes?

Good one LemonMan.

I just hope no one ever says 'ooo, that must be that person from DS!!!'

haha but people from DS don't make smells - we are all flawless :)

I recently started taking Tecfedera and that give you gas like nothing else. Boy, I have to really be careful if I am going out in a group of people. I have to try to walk away but it can really clear out the room!!

I try to walk away if I feel it coming on so that people don't think that it is me in the grocery store. I used to avoid it when I stopped drinking milk, but now Tecfedera is really giving the gas. Thanks for the topic. Dogs are a good one. But as I understand it, a lot of people have gas and just ignore it and don't say anything either.

Lemonman, you are hilarious. I notice that sitting down in a group of people it is easier to hold it in, but when I get up, Holly Mackeral!!

Don't know if anybody else has noticed this after starting probiotics.
Not only smelly but loud and musical as well. Will continue to take them as seem to help my other bodily functions.

Don't stand up Ezone!

Perhaps we are looking at this all wrong. Maybe we should be letting people enjoy our outstanding musical talents!

A really good home remedy & one that won't hurt you is taking parsley with each meal or time you eat.

I got all of this info from natural remedies
It will stop most gas & what you are left with is almost odorless
it can be fresh or dried I find the dried hard to get down

please note pregnant woman should not take parsley it causes uterine contractions

also note for nursing women it will not hurt you or the child but it will increase milk production

let me know if anyone whats to slow down milk production

if you want to use dried parley I found a good way to get it down was to make mint tea & add 1 tsp of dried parsley steep for at least 5 min's 10 is best

I found fresh parsley better.
what I did to keep prices down
in the spring I went to a place that sells plants for gardeners I bought about 4 parley planted them in a good clay pot they are easy to grow.

once growing I would make dips for veggies or what ever

it works great
(even on my Hubby ((wink, wink)) )

wanted to relate a funny story
talking about something giving your gas I took alfalfa tablets and I could not believe the way it reacted to me
of course I wish dating my husband at the time and it was the first dinner I had at his place and during dinner the alfalfa kicked in now I am talking machine-gun quality it ended up we laugh so hard that it just made it worse and I was a continual machine-gun so I was embarrassed but we stayed together and got married and we still laugh over the alfalfa some time now when he wants to be funny because of MS already have the reaction to meds that give me gas and he asked me if I would like alfalfa

I have found over the years it is good to keep our sense of humor because if we don't we would only end up crying

of course during lunch when I work I used to keep rice cakes on handy to crunch in case I couldn't keep it in blame it on extra crunchy rice cakes or some other cracker or Melba toast

of course my friends got to know me and we would blame it on bad food in the refrigerator I think we all have these stories and expect to laugh at

I read the post to my husband and he got a really good laugh from it and he loves lemon men humor

thanks for the post
hugs to all

Thank you all, I laughed so hard I almost wet my pants. I am not taking that med or eating alfalfa ever. Toot toot

I shouldn't be surprised - there are sites on google dedicated to farting, Here's some examples...

Things to Say After Farting

According to Kelly F., there is a US Airforce custom of saying, "Howdy!" after farting in flight, to assure one's colleagues that one's intentions are peaceful.

Jimmy K. tells of a friend who says, "Speak to me, oh, toothless one!" Similarly, Bazzbull says, "Speak to me, ol' toothless wonder!" And EHALL says, "Oh, toothless one! Your voice has changed but your breath is still the same!"

Murray E. sends this account of a response to belching: "Once, when Dorothy Parker was at a dinner, a man burped quite loudly she is reported to have looked at him and said, 'why didn't you use the other end and save your teeth?'"

According to BSneed, after Czechs let out a silent fart, they announce the fact by saying, "Soytka," to let their friends know they might be smelling something. The word refers to a kind of little bird.

Ron C.'s father, a Royal Navyman, would say, "Don't worry - plenty for all!"

Bill J. and Matt K. say, "When farts are transported past another while still engulfed in one's pants, one should ask the perpetrator, 'Are you draggin' skags??'"

According to Marci, Rodney Dangerfield said, "Hey, did somebody step on a duck?" in Caddyshack.

Altond had a high school friend who would say, "Catch that and paint it blue!" And in the army, when a person farted, someone would say, "Colonel who?"

David H. says that before you fart, you should say, "Did you hear that?" and when the other person says, "What?" you let it rip.

If someone else produces a particularly odiferous emission, ifartoften says you should say, "What crawled up in you and died?"

GMR reports hearing this one in Scotland, "Well, there's no point in having an arse if you can't let it rejoice in song!"

I don't fart, I whisper in my panties lol!!

This is a great discussion! When I was in the navy, if someone let one rip, a smart alec would always yell out, "Captain who?"
