No Farting

I think it's over with this guy I've been seeing lately. He thinks farting is funny.

We went to a Mexican restaurant downtown last night and he had some kind of bean dish – a variety of beans, not sure what it was, not really paying a lot of attention.

Walking back to the car afterwards, he started laughing.

“Sorry, but I just have too,” he said – after which he farted right there on the sidewalk.

Did I mention there were other people on the sidewalk?

As if one wasn’t bad enough, he cut another one and then another one, laughing after each one.

I didn’t go back to his place, told him I had a headache. I may feel different later, but I doubt if I ever see this guy again.

I have no idea why guys think passing gas is funny in public, but I sure don’t. There should be a law: No farting in public.

I think some men just never grow up. If my husband did this kind of thing in public, I think I would hit him.

[hard as nails]

anyone who doesn't think farting is funny is lying to you.

Wow. A post about farting. What a shock that this blog would write something like that. No -- not a shock at all.

Does this post fall in the modern irony department? I mean its kind of an example of a weird modern juxtapostion: claiming you have a headache in order to spare someone's feelings and then posting a blog article for the whole world to read about why the guy whose feelings you tried to spare is disgusting.

I need to need farting rules. Alone in your apartment? Yes. In the bathroom? Of course.
In a public place? Of course not.

Your boyfriend sounds gross.

Fart jokes and farting can be funny but some guys do have some class about it. Farting while walking down a sidewalk, especially with a date, is tasteless and unfunny.
