Don't read if easily offended

Sorry always laugh at farts. When DS was little chap we taught him it was rude unless in the bathroom and we called them pardons. When it was reported on the news Bill Clinton was going to issue one hundred pardons DS turned to me agog

I thought it was going to be the culprit's own wedding, not a funeral . It made me laugh (but I agree it wasn't particularly well worded)

Sorry should have said "natural"!

When I was growing up we were taught at school that "breaking wind is a perfectly normal bodily function and is not necessarily a social faut pas. Apologizing for that act draws attention to something which would be better ignored and therefore that is what is not socially acceptable. Likewise giggling, laughing or joking about it even through embarrassment is equally frowned upon as being unmannerly."

The worst possible place to be is singing in the row behind a line of cathedral choristers who have been fed baked beans for tea in the school canteen. It was somewhat difficult to concentrate on the beauty of the music!

Me 2

Well I thought it was funny and giggled!

You wanna make something of it?

Whatever the post, someone doesn't like it!

The number and variety of 'fart joke' birthday cards aimed at men and boys reinforces your point, NanaandGrampy!

Most kids find bodily functions hilarious! But a primary classroom after broccoli or cabbage for school lunch is not the freshest place to be

Having had 2 DDs I was surprised to find how funny little boys find farting . Even some men too for that matter.

Even the word reduces my 3 little DGSs to hysterical laughter.

What do you mean, grannylyn?

There is always one who never fails!

I am over-thinking it.

No. It needed a bit of padding between the penultimate paragraph and the final one.

It's like a good story spoiled.

What I found funny was the way the embarrassment factor increased as the story progressed.

Oh dear, I suppose fart jokes are a bit childish to the more serious among us. DH, who is never amused by such things, always comments sniffily on the way my family goes into fits about such matters.

In theory it was quite funny. But the phrasing of it wasn't very good. So much of the humour was lost. But I did chuckle slightly.

I might be overthinking it.

harrigran - sorry you were not amused, but feel your comment was unnecessary. Have not had a pointed comment made to me on here before and now I know why some people get upset.

Grow up - if you don't like my thread don't read it.

Usually blame the dog

I laughed .

In our house , should I pass wind ( which of course I don't) my husband says ' pardon me' and apologises .

Well trained.

LOL.

Not particularly funny, but why anyone should be 'offended' by it is beyond me...

I think it is funny.
