discreet Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 So all this time the current mrs discreet has been promoting my good health and I've thanked her by calling her a filthy cow. Hardly seems fair in the light of this new information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratman Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I want more clarification as to exactly which kind of farts are supposed to be beneficial to good health. Mine, in my opinion, are probably in that group. Although I kmow a few drummers that might disagree, but that's another story. I've been sniffing farts for years and this hasn't caused any long term effects. But my lovely Rottweiler, Gracie, has the ability to produce smells capable of making your eyeballs melt. It's the sensory experience equivalent of being tazed. Thankfully it's mainly dried food with chicken in that does this to her, so she doesn't get that a lot. Those farts are definitely not good for your heath. Don't believe everything you read on the interweb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepbass5 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Some years ago whilst performing Patsy Gallant's From New York to LA, well I dropped my guts - really bad. The opening vocal line on the verse ended with an Ahhhhh. And as my bottom gas rolled of the stage like dry ice the people dancing below the 4" high stage all went Phwooor in time with the vocal Ahhhhh. Still brings tears to my eyes now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
