@Axai - I'm cool, I was just trying to puncture this popular preconception that women shouldn't - or can't - fart.
@BGG - you should try it sometime, farting with impunity is fucking brilliant. I've been absolutely volcanic lately and it's the most fun you can have in mixed company.

The sooner everyone realises that we're just a bunch of apes with a couple of clever tricks, the sooner we'll move on as a society. Pretending bodily functions just don't happen gets us nowhere.

It was the late, and very great Dave Allen who, when asked what the funniest thing in the world is, replied: "Farting is hilarious!" Billy Connelly - when he was funny - opined that if we farted with our hands, it would be the basis of almost every party trick ever. Especially if there was a set of rubber gloves nearby.

Yet farting *is* brilliant. We should all be able to laugh about it and revel in our own amazing flatulence. I know I do.
