Like everything in life, farts have a time and place. However, I never realized that in the wrong time and place, flatulence had enough power to alter my course in history. Well, it can if its the third date with the man of your dreams. And, if it makes his eyes burn. If God destined us to be together, I was one SBD away from foiling His plans (thats Silent But Deadly for you prudes).
It was about five years ago. I was trying to lose a few pounds so I was staying away from carbs. Thats when I met my husband, Rob. On our first date, he booked the next two. He liked me. I liked him. Things were looking real good.
He picked me up in a Cobra, Mustang and his pathetic attempt to win me over with a car totally worked. Im not shallow, but since I spent most of my twenties picking men up because I didnt want my hair to frizz in their non-air conditioned jalopies on 3 wheels and a 15 year old spare, I welcomed his fancy sports car with open arms.
We arrived at the restaurant and Rob was ordering food I hadnt allowed myself to eat in years. I didnt want to be that girl so I ate, drank, and oh, was I merry. Later we shopped a bit. Rob surprised me by buying an expensive pair of shoes that he caught me eyeing. Was this love?
Thats when it happened. Gas strikes in two different ways uncontrollable toots or sharp, shooting pains that feel a lot like dying. I thought I was dying. Not to make a scene, I told Rob I suddenly wasnt feeling well and probably needed to head home. On the way home in his Cobra, he tried to hold my hand and ask me lots of questions, but I wasnt having any of it. The pain was so bad it felt like I was being stabbed with a bunch of tiny forks. Then I realized
My God, help me. I have a horrendous fart on deck. Im in trouble. Big trouble.
The more I held it in, the more pain would shoot through my stomach and down my legs. I was even having to raise myself off the seat, gripping on to my door and the dashboard.
Seriously, you need to hurry Im in a lot of pain. I managed to say through gritted teeth.
Wow, its that bad? Whats wrong? Do I need to take you to a hospital?
How do you tell a man you just started dating that the reason youre writhing in pain is because you have to fart?
Well, you can either tell him, or like me, let the fart speak for itself. People, hear me. There was nothing I could do. As impressive as I am with sphincter control, this was out of my hands. Slowly, it eeked out. The more I tried to stop it, the more it forced its way through the door. However, to my pleasant surprise, there was no sound. I sat silently, sweat accumulating above my upper lip. Ok, maybe I got away with it. Maybe Im home free. Then it hit me. Not an idea, a cloud. A horrific, fart cloud. Not in a, am I smelling something? sort of way. More like a is someone dead and rotting in your trunk and am I in hell? sort of way.
Suddenly, I panicked. Roll down the windows! I screamed (yes, I literally screamed it like I was in a horror movie).
What? Why? Rob asked, starting to freak out because I was freaking out.
I cant roll down the windows, unlock it! UNLOCK IT!
Whats going on? Rob yells back to me, Why are you then it hit him. I could see it in his eyes. Was it surprise? Horror? Water started to accumulate at the base of his eyelids, Oh my God, I CAN TASTE IT! he screamed.
Roll down the windows! As I screamed, the toots started to flood out uncontrollably. I scratched and clawed at the window like I was being kidnapped. Rob, unable to see either by fart cloud or panic, kept turning on the windshield wipers instead of unlocking the window.
It was chaos. We were acting like we were under siege by gun fire. We were under siege alright, just not by gun fire. Finally he was able to hit the right control and he rolled down our windows. We both gulped in fresh air. I was horrified, yet happy to be alive, then remembered I just farted on the man of dreams, then sorta wished I was dead.
We sat silently for the rest of the way home. Although the shooting pains had subsided, I now desperately needed to use the bathroom, in an urgent, explosive kind of way.
He pulled up to my apartment and before he could come to a stop I had already jumped out, Ok, thanks for dinner, sorry about the fart, love the shoes! and ran in to my apartment like I was running from the cops.
I burst through my door and ran straight for the bathroom, where I was finally able to unleash and make noises that no one should ever, EVER, hear coming from another person.
Then I heard it. Robs voice. Right. Outside. My. Bathroom. Door.
Anna? You left your shoes in my car and your front door was open. Where do you want me to put them?
Get away from the door! I scream like Reagan from The Exorcist. Ok, Im sorry. Are you okay?
*toot* *toot* *splatter* *ungodly noise* Im fine, Rob just leave the shoes there. Ill call you later okay?
Okay, are you sure youre
Im fine! Get away from the door!
This man! I mean, I love him, but take a freakin hint!
Finally, I heard the front door shut, and the Cobra engine zoom away. I thought that was the last Id hear from him. I didnt think it was possible to ever see a man again after he screams he can taste your fart after only knowing you for 48 hours.
But, to my surprise, I did. A couple days later, actually. Now were married and hes laying on the couch while I type this It was your rack that saved you, he just lovingly reminded me

I saw this on another forum some time ago, thought it was so funny I kept it;
The year is 2020- Mr Pelbo was a renowned TV executive who earned his under- graduate, graduate, and journalism degrees in his hometown and then left for Queensland, where he quickly rose to the top of his field. Soon, he was invited to deliver a significant paper, at a conference, coincidentally held in his hometown. He walked on stage and placed his papers on the lectern, but they slid off onto the floor. As he bent over to retrieve them, at precisely the wrong moment, he FARTED. The microphone amplified his mistake resoundingly through the room and it reverberated down the hall. He was very embarrassed, but somehow regained his composure just enough to deliver his paper. He ignored the resounding applause and raced out the stage door, never to be seen in his hometown again. Decades later, when his elderly friend was ill, Mr Pelbo returned to visit him. He reserved a hotel room under the name of Levy and arrived under the cover of darkness. The desk clerk asked him, 'Is this your first visit to our city, Mr.Levy?' Mr Pelbo replied, 'Well,young man, no, it isn't. I grew up here and received my education here, but then I moved away.' 'Why haven't you visited?' asked the desk clerk. Actually, I did visit once, many years ago, but an embarrassing thing happened, and since then I've been too ashamed to return.' The clerk consoled Mr Pelbo. 'Sir, while I don't have your life experience, one thing I have learned is that often what seems embarrassing to me isn't even remembered by others. I bet thats true of your incident too.' Mr Pelbo replied, 'Son, I doubt thats the case with my incident.' 'Was it a long time ago?' 'Yes, many years.' The clerk asked, 'Was it before or after the Pelbo Fart?'
