old age ,, doesn't come alone
On the plus side it seems that farting etiquette, if it ever was a concern, is no longer.
Sitting down with a auld fella a few weeks back, helping him with some forms so he could get some help via the tax system he'd paid into all his life.
"I'll just get a pen" says he as he gets up off his chair up and lets loose a double barrel at ghost crows.
His daughter looking so embarrassed and disgusted, as off he goes and genuinely appears oblivious.
Trying not to laugh out loud, biting my lip at the same time as wondering if he was deaf to certain pitch tones, or selectively deaf.
Etiquette don't bother me, but don't like the thought of losing the control to make comedy when ever the moment is needed.
Then again farting has never been top of my ideas of a joke. Worked with a big fat smug public schoolboy type who thought it great for meetings, remembering even wondering once if he sometimes specifically set out to over eat just to perform his habit routine, because his abilities were not natural.
