It isn't just one unrepentant farting coworker....
There's at least two in my office. The other one is a guy, who cut loose yesterday.

I understand that things can "sneak up" on a person and "slip out". But if that were the case, the person should at least FEIGN surprise, right? Walking right by and not even acknowledging your thunderous cheek-slapper is just nine different kinds of wrong...

or do they still make that green goo in a cup that makes gross noises (we stole that from our kids because it was so funny) or even an old fashioned whoopee cushion - maybe they would get the hint if they heard a loud echo?

or jump up and start waving and spraying a can of lysol?

5. simply saying "excuse me", usually covers it, right?

16. ALL gastroenterologists are brave.
Or foolhardy. Or twisted ass-freaks. I'm not quite sure.

19. I have an old college bud who became a proctologist.
I really don't have any idea why he did this, or how he stands it. Anyway, his friends now call him "Squint". He's OK with that, but his wife hates it. She hangs up on anyone who calls and asks to speak with Squint.

21. If he did, would he be a proctologist?
But, the punster does live for the groan. Accordingly .... groooooann.

10. It isn't an issue of smell.
We have good air circ in the office, so there isn't much olfactory offense. It's just amazingly distracting and more than a little rude. Especially in a county government office that is supposed to present a "professional" face to the public.

13. According to George Carlin...
The varieties of farts:

The fizz
The fazz
The fizz-fazz
The rip-shit
The snorter
And the one that makes you go "Whoof!"

:rofl:

15. One can forgive a dog. They don't know any better.
My coworkers, on the other hand....

Probably ALSO don't know any better. There are other indicators of their lack of class. After all, in SoCal, flip-flops are considered "shoes".
