When my sister was in college she got a book titled, “Who Farted?” It’s just photos, and it’s hilarious.

This is my favorite fart photo ever:

The queen trying to keep a straight face is almost as funny as Harry cracking up!

"Has anyone had this severe problem and what did they do to overcome this."

Several things come to mind. First, the flatulence could be a side effect of a drug (including antacids) or food intolerance. You can have a blood test to check if you are sensitive to yeast, milk, egg, soy, etc.

There are many supplements that can help:

1. Probiotics -- This is a big deal. If you have the wrong bacteria (or yeast) in your gut, it will be an issue. Get it from a supplement, not from yogurt.
2. Digestive Enzymes -- If you are over 30, you probably need these. Undigested, rotting food in the gut will stink.
3. Betaine (also called TMG) -- If you are over 30, you probably need this for proper digestion.

When it comes to dogs and dog farts, it’s virulence and toxicity that count, not mere size.

Exactly. Like a coral snake, a very small snake, is much more toxic than a 5 foot copperhead. I have actually taken to keeping a fan at my side in our den so that as the wafting of incoming aroma is first detected....the fan goes on high and points 180 degrees away from me. That is usually pointing toward my wife, which creates a whole-other set of concerns which I have to deal with. But....in my case, it is a survival reflex.

The queens husband was the culprit. He is trying too hard to effect a pretended innocence. Also the other people are fingering him with their looks.

What are the gaseous effects of lutefisk?

[neocon1984]

You are making the assumption that one can actually chew and swallow lutefisk and hold it down.

I cannot.

[butterdezillion]

LOL. That is hilarious!

I wonder which one of them did it. lol

I know Harry’s gotten into a lot of trouble, but he sure seems like a normal person. Hard not to like him.

I guess that explains partly why she and Phil have slept in separate bedrooms for ages.

[chesley]

My wife got a small dog from the pound that sleeps in the bed with us.

About 2am every morning he slithers up from the foot of the bed and sleeps between us at the neck. Zowie, can he produce gas.

I guess you can tell by this story who wears the pants in my family!
