One time, when I worked at Boeing Computer Services I was walking back to the tape room to get a tape. A guy named EB was walking out of the room. Just as I got to him it was like I hit a WALL! The smell was so, so, so awful! It caused me to physically jerk back and involuntarily cry out ”EB!!!!”
Walk through any drugstore, the variety of products is astounding.
Why isn’t there a Colon Pretty suppliment?
Why has no one invented a candy bar which makes farts smell like chocolates? Why no beverage which converts the gas to minty fresh puffs?
Could it be that we have some sick desire to check out other people’s scent?
I find it interesting that a fart, essentially harmless and, in most cases, something that quickly dissipates, gets reactions like that ^ while a sneeze, the carrier of diseases and generally fluid ickiness, has people saying nice things to you.
And yes, like everyone else in the universe, I sometimes fart in public.
OK, I concede the rather casually made observation. You are different and special. When people sneeze, others (at least in the numerous places I’ve lived) casually wish them good health, or express friendly concern. Maybe in Kansas people sneeze on each other as a regular thing.
