Where’s the fart thread when you need it?

[Fishbone†]

So, I’m a training session this morning with all the engineers I work with. I’m at the front of the table, and the facilitator is just getting started with the training when someone lets a very audible one go. No one moves, and the facilitator barely misses a beat, although his eyes quickly dart towards the screen and away from the audience. I feel a giggle welling up, and I swallow hard, praying that I can control myself. I have no idea why this is so funny, but I know if I don’t catch the giggle now, I’ll be all done. I catch the guy just kitty-corner from me start to shake out of the corner of my eye, and I feel the giggle well again. I harness all the power within me and dodge the bullet as I gain control and keep focus on the screen and away from the shaking shoulders. He’s trying to keep control as well.

I am very proud of myself. I managed to repeat these steps and keep control for an hour while someone in the back continued to release pressure with a voice.

I just find it so funny that someone would sit there through a meeting farting away as if it’s a natural as breathing. I so wish I knew who it was!!

Things like that are always funnier when you are NOT supposed to laugh. Funerals, churches, meetings...

You have much more self-control than I do! Just like you, I would have been doing everything possible to try to contain my laughter, but I'm not sure I would have succeeded. If I looked around and saw someone else starting to laugh, I KNOW that would do me in. I probably would have had to get up and leave the room. It's happened before!

Before I had DD#2,I worked for a doctor.He had just taken over the practice maybe 2 years before.So maybe a month after he took over he called a staff meeting.Well we had hard wood benched we were sitting on,and he is talking about what he plans to do and the changes he's going to make.Then it happens,he leans over and lets it rip,not only is it loud but it echoes.I looked over at my one co-worker and she is looking at an imaginary X on the floor and another coworker picks up a magazine.I however start to fake cough and have to excuse myself.I still remember it like it happened yesterday

I would have laughed cause I wasnt supposed to!

I bet the person standing next to the farter knew who it was.

Was standing around within a mixed group when all of a sudden someone lets one go. At first we thought it was thunder as it was cloudy. All of a sudden one of the girls in the group starts spinning around while looking at the ground. She stops and preceeds to stomp the ground with her foot several times and stops. She stands there for a few seconds looking down at the spot she was stomping and says "Thought you'd get away did you!!"

my staff would have laughed and I would have been there with them....whoever did it would also fess up and laugh at themselves. But then, we are a strange office.

We've got several good ones, but that is the "official" fart thread. i submit the idea we should have a fart board right here on the Dis. maybe a community sub-forum for people who are tired of economy, negative job news, etc and just want to relax and talk farts.

I am laughing so much with this thread! When I was a kid, I called it a puff-puff. I still do. You should hear my DS say, "Did someone puff?"

Hate it when a place is invested with barking spiders. My DD would have loudly stated somebody is wearing Toot of the Looms.

Okay, so considering what *almost* happened today with the Stock Market, and other bad news (oil spill, Nashville floods, Greece collapsing, etc) I'd say we need several good fart threads to get people laughing and to lighten the mood.

What a day it's been.
