Farting during a show

This thread is absolutely beautiful. No matter how old I get, I'm pretty sure farts will always be hilarious.

I actually made a couple leave the Half-priced Books one time. I was crouched down looking at some crap on the bottom shelf, and, almost before I knew the sucker was even coming, a fart weaseled its way out. A nearby couple left because of it - the guy kind of shrugging at the girl, the girl mouthing the words "we have to go!" at the guy.
 
I'm not so sure this is true. I'm not disputing that "tiny particles" can be, and probably are released upon gaseous expulsion. But the tiny particles, lacking density and mass, and not having much force behind them, cannot travel far. Likely not much further than the clothing the offender is wearing. And probably 98% are caught in the clothing. You could think of the clothing as a fart filter.

If my theory holds true, then it has to be gaseous molecules that cause the stink, not actual fecal particles. Since the gas is heated to close to 100 degrees Farenheit when it escapes, that accounts for the immediate expansion to the surrounding area in a room that's cooler than body temperature. And the force of the fart has nothing to do with the mechanics of gaseous expansion. Even the loudest fart imaginable probably has only a couple of pounds of pressure behind it. Any more would rip delicate tissues. And here's the clincher: Even a silent, carefully let fart can expand and stink the same way a loud, forceful one can. That proves my theory in a nutshell, I believe.

That's the problem isn't it - farts are a bit of a Catch 22, either you keep them silent or deadly or light the fuse and blast the cannon - don't really know whether nostril or aural assault is better :hmm:


I have experienced a few fart moments I won't forget in a hurry - I was staying round my lasses house with her parents and I think it was the only the 2nd time I'd stayed up there..anyway, we were all going out and so I had to get my shoes, I bent down and it just happened :ninja: was quite short but very loud!!! we all burst out laughing but I think their class perception of me went a bit South after that ;)

THE classic for me though was pure and simple - whole family at the dinner table one Christmas and it was an effortless, effortless ripper that had punch and sustained for days :cool:
 
I'm glad someone bumped this.

I find that my wife is not my confidant when it comes to farts. If I rip one, she will always loudly blame me.

If I rip one at a gig, and she's there, she'll usually bust me from the audience by seeing a certain grin I make. If I see her catching me in the act, I bust out laughing.

I was out walking the dog, and I rip one in front of the neighbors, and she immediately calls me out on it. She could have blamed the dog. If I go to a friends house, and I cut one, she'll immediately blame me. She couldn't even blame it on the vinyl cushions or something. What's worse she'll blame me for farts that I didn't make. Like the one in the theatre that she tried to pass off on me. I had to force a confession.

She needs more training. Mine only does that when she is covering her own.......
 
If anyone has heard of the Sheetz line of convinience stores you have surely heard of the Death Dog. You basically take one of their hot dogs and pick EVERY topping on the menu. Chili, Onions, Cheese, Kraut, Jalapenos Etc. Now Imagine I had 2 of those before chugging a pitcher of cheap Miller Lite Draft.

Fast Forward 2 hours. We are setting up for the gig and I go to sit my amp on the floor and didn't realize the drummer was behind me setting up cymbal stands at nose level.

One gag and two punches later.........

30 years old and I laughing at this thread over and over and over
 
It took me about 4 days to get through this thread! I must say... some of the best comedy I've read in years!! Almost a month since anyone contributed... so it is my turn. This isn't a gig story, but definitely a classic for me and my friend.

Back in early high school days, my best friend was spending the night at my place. I don't remember what we had eaten that day, but it was most likely our usual mix of junk food, frozen pizza, coke and anything else we could find in the cupboards. We spent the evening playing video games and doing the things teenage boys do, with a few butt blasters along the way. About 2am, we finally get to bed. I'm just starting to drift off to dream land, and my friend nudges me. "Hey... hand me the lighter!" Now... had I been fully awake, I feel my thought proccess would have been slightly different. Something along the lines of "Self, you need to move out of the way, as this could be detrimental to your health." However, being in a sleepy stupor, I mindlessly handed him the lighter and rolled back over. I hear rustling. More rustling. Silence. At that time, I can only describe what I experienced as a small atom bomb going off in my room. The blackness of night was completely replaced with a flame shooting from my friend's buttocks.... UNDER THE SHEET! The flame was so intense in it's propulsion that it reached the bottom of my bed, made a sharp right turn and continued towards my legs. The next thing I know, my leg hairs are all completely vaporized by this rolling cloud of flaming death. 3 things are happening at this moment. My friend is now screaming like a catholic schoolgirl from the flames burning his cheeks like a pig on a rotiserie, I am leaping from the bed for fear that I will be consumed by the flame and unimaginable stench, and my dad, who sleeps upstairs, is now on his way out of his bedroom to see what cataclysm is occuring in his basement. In the end, we get told to knock it off... and what is that aweful smell? Both of us were now missing a good portion of our lower body hair. Although his pride was extremely inflated from such a colosal blast for weeks after that! This is perhaps one of the most memorable childhood memories. He is still my best friend to this day, and I have never topped the bomb he dropped in my room. That... is my story. Now come on... let's keep this thread alive!

hahahaha, man, I really had a crappy day, but just made me rotfling for 5 minutes, thanks!! :D
 
in may my band went to greece to play a gig and when we were flyin over germany the keyboard player noticed our guitarist was asleep so i bent over n pushed the dirtyest thing u ever smelt ouuta ma rear end he woke up going "what on earth have you bin puttin in my mouth" loved every second funniest thing ever never cryed so much
 
Once when I was in my late teens, I was at a girls house bouncing on a trampoline that was in her front yard, I really liked her and she was standing nearby watching me, suddenly it happened - it must have been the momentum of bouncing up and down or the sudden exhertion of the act but it just came out and it was loud as hell too, I was totally unprepared for how embarassed I felt and I couldn't look her in the eye ever again after that. :(

Also, at school when I was really young this kid farted during a lesson, it was hilarious but the worst part was that he got a very serious telling off in front of the whole class - the teacher told him that he had better learn to keep his dirty wind at home, :D
 
I was outside at work having a smoke and talking with one of my work buddies when I felt the rumblings of a real seam-ripper...we were each leaning on our respective cars. I somehow turned just a little- enough that only one buttcheek was making full contact with the front fender, and it had most of my weight on it. I let fly, and it started off slow...then, with a little push, I was able to "rev it up". It was loud, and coupled to the hollow metal shell that is my wheel well, it actually sounded like it was coming from under my hood! My buddy looked at my car, said "Nice!" and then asked if I had converted it to run on methane! I told him it was having a slight problem with it's emission control system, he said "Obviously!" We had a good laugh over that one. :D

I like that NZ term- "dirty wind"...that's hilarious!
 
During school exams, we were all seated in the cafeteria (HUGE area, at least 200 could fit.), so my friend rips a 3 second fart, and everyone started snickering because there is no talking allowed, but our whole table started roaring with laughter because it was the most loudest fart anyone's heard because it echoed throughout the room. Pretty funny; he only got a lunch detention because the teacher thought it was hilarious. :D

I remember when I was a kid, I'd fart into a tennis-ball capsule thing, (carries 3 tennis balls) cap it. I got my dog over because he's always curious, held him down, and opened it on his nose. He gets pissed off whenever I fart around him because he knows it smells.
