How much should a healthy person fart?

Kermit.de.frog

In the Irish Times, no less.

But this thread is not about farting - unless you want it to be.

No. The question is are journalistic standards in decline? You can add your advice on the subject matter in the title too.:)

Between this and the tabloids sometimes I feel the SINDO is the only quality piece of journalism out there.

The Business Post has become a rag too, full of half naked ladies and stuff.:mad:

Its a sad state of affairs if the SINDO is now equated with quality journalism.

As someone who farts a lot, I asked my doc this one day..

He said if you’re not farting any more or less then you used to, you’re fine.

Looking back, I don’t know how I kept a straight face

Ever farted in a lift and not told the other participants?

It's cruelty I say.

Just scanned the article, but it appears to be a healthy living article, and what various foods do to the gut, and how different things like fibre v chemical reactions in the gut can lead to trumps in the trunks..

To be fair, it's not like the times have went with an article that has caught a celebrity sitting on a park bench somewhere, body at a 45degree angle, one leg lifted slightly from the bench and headline like "Kardashian Kaught Needing Klean Knickers"

Its hardly gutter article to be fair

but but they used the word "fart". That's not what an upmarket quality newspaper aimed toward the anglo irish gentry does surely?

Fart is a slightly less informal word to describe flatulence.

Are we becoming a nation full of easy offended or what?

As a farter, i found the article to be most informative.

The SINDO?

Sunday Independent.

Let the classiness waft all over you.

Its those scary 'wet' farts you have to watch out for.

Have you ever farted and it sounds like it was asking a question i.e. upward inflection?

Kermit.de.frog

Don't fart often - but when I do they are a single note that is incredibly and unnaturally long. Like those people who stand at urinals and wee for what seems like a physically impossible extended period of time. Not sure what medical implications can be drawn from that.

Farting in lifts is wrong on so many levels.

I do remember one when I was very young that was very funny at the time - because it sounded like a very worried person saying "uh-oh" in a high pitched very concerned tone. It was like someone else in the room.

I admire people who can just rock up to a Urinal
And let out the biggest ripper as if nobody else existed

I would not know as I do not use urinals or do the whole standing up peeing thing Which I say with some trepidation given how when I mentioned this in the past I received the most amazing abuse from a couple of users.

But generally letting lose for me is involuntary when peeing. I appear to be unable to let one lose while holding the other in.

I farted in a cable car on a skiing holiday once.
The cable car was rammed, with my group and a foreign couple - couldn't move.
My head was beside the little open window.
It was vile as I'd been drinking all week.

If looks could kill...
It was glorious.

More importantly. How did the Dr keep a straight face.

400 to 500 times a day seems to be the normal range.

Ah. Yes. I did phrase that entirely wrong didn't I. Made it sound like the issue goes both ways.

Let me change that to:

"I appear to be unable to let the latter lose while holding the former in."

fergus1001

depends what you eat if I eat something with cheese my farts would strip paint off the walls

wexie

If I don't carefully watch what I eat and drink I could probably act as a small methane fired power plant

It's best to fart in the lift while they're there with you, and hold eye contact. This will help to maintain dominance in your office relationships, and women will flock towards you.

I saw it on National Geographic.

There was a thread about a co-worker who used to break wind violently at the urinal when someone was beside him, then give the victim a steely glare and walk out. The op thought it was to assert his dominance like you say, as the bloke was a bit of a bully.

I do wonder why they "supposedly" bothered snooping on their staff. :rolleyes:
