This is a problem I face whenever I use the urinal. I tend to be gassy on both ends, but it’s obviously easier to suppress it if it’s coming out of my mouth. I think I inherited this trait from my dad except he doesn’t burp loudly like I do. I’m fortunate enough to have some friends who applaud this sort of thing, because it’s very liberating to not have to worry about this sort of thing. Sometimes you can think that you’re doing so well to let out a fart silently, when it turns out that maybe it had more pressure than you originally thought. Then you let your guard down and get too overconfident which leads to bad things. The real question is this: If you know you’re going to be making embarrassing sounds is it better or worse to know the person that you’re sharing the bathroom with and vice versa?
The lowbrow toilet humor strips tend to be the majority of the few comics of my own that I laugh out loud at. I only laugh at maybe 1% or 2% of my strips. I would like to think that those comics must be exceptionally funny, but that probably isn’t necessarily the case. I think it’s good that I don’t laugh at most of them, because fewer things are less funny than a guy who laughs at his own jokes.
LOVE IT! I once farted in Band class. It felt like it would be one of those silent poofs, so I let it slip. Big mistake. My teacher was giving us a lecture at the time, and not only are his lectures long, but he also gets pissed when people are talking during his lectures unless it is more of a friendly chat to the whole class or a specific student or something (which happened a lot in that class), so the room was almost unnervingly quiet if you didn’t count the teacher’s voice. Add to that the fact that I was in a chair made of somewhat flexible plastic, and you have an embarrassing moment. I swear if somebody wasn’t looking at me, then at least HALF the class was, and I think a few were trying not to laugh. I couldn’t help looking down out of embarrassement and trying not to laugh myself.
