fart

[gaddou]

I was wandering how come we usually do not mind your own fart sent but could not tolerate someone else. I f you have any explanation, scientific or not. Let me know

Hmmm, good (if not weird) question! Maybe it's the same reason why we can't tickle ourselves? Who knows?

I always thought the highest compliment you could give someone was to say "Your farts are my fragrance."

But, I'm such a romantic.

Believe me, even the smell of my own farts makes me gag sometimes .... must be all that kangaroo and emu meat I consume.

I've said it before but it bears repeating :

A Fart is nothing more than a turds last cry for freedom !

Well, a fart is a fart is a fart, whether it's mine or someone else's; and they're unpleasant-smelling but no big deal. Farts just happen.

But as JSB_01 posits, what makes it shocking when someone else does it is the same reason you can't tickle yourself: for shock value, there has to be a surprise involved... you didn't really know it was coming, and then you walk right into it or breathe it up. When it's your own, you felt it come out and you know not to breathe through your nose for a minute, or to speedily change locations, or to light a match. The other people in the room didn't get the warning.

That's the real reason you say "Excuse me" when you fart: not because you did something rude that needs to be excused, but merely to warn passersby not to breathe just then.

it all depends on your diet...aren't all guys kinda amused by farts anyway? my friends and i find it rather amusing to see if we can make each other gag on long car trips...for those who want to know, the magic formula for a lethal fart bomb is...a burger followed by corn flakes for a snack, wait 30 minutes and BAM!

^^holy shit...you're back! or are you not him? i guess if my questions make no sense to you, you ain't him.
