Breaking wind and toasting gas

Sometimes I am grateful that foods make me gaseous. Foods like deviled eggs, broccoli, and beans are good farting foods. They are hearty and delicious, too.

Beans, beans, the musical fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot The more you toot, the better you feel… Let’s have beans for every meal!

For some reason, I didn’t hear this popular rhyme until I heard my husband’s mom singing it. Yes, I’m in the right family. You know you are in a long-term relationship when neither partner is afraid to let one rip. It’s a new level of intimacy.

Farts convey a variety of aromas. I love the scent of stinky farts, especially my dog, Juno’s, farts. They are very sharp like fancy blue cheese. Another notable thing about farts is that you have some control over their sound. Sometimes. There’s the silent but deadly fart. There’s the pants-ripping loud-and-proud variety that makes everyone around you aware that you mean business. And, there’s the medium one that makes people wonder who dealt it. Well, thou who smelt it is said to be the one who dealt it, but we’ll never know for sure, will we?

When I was a young child I had a neighbor who could make his armpits fart. Oh, how I longed to make my armpits sing that terrific song. Alas, I’ve never mastered this skill. Farting in the bathtub creates a fun jacuzzi effect. On chilly nights you can let ’em rip under a heavy blanket to warm up. And, if you like, you can also enjoy their pungent scent.

It’s no fun feeling bloated. Farting releases all that locked up gas. Farting feels good. Excuse me…I have a plate of deviled eggs, broccoli, and beans awaiting.
