Where does it say one is not allowed to fart while singing opera? What’s the big deal?

Maybe they can work in a trombone part. Something in the Mingus genre...

A strategically placed pilot light might be of some use. Burn it off before it gets too far.

If she can fart on key, what’s the problem?

I had a few Nerhu collared shirts back then. That’s one of the few styles that has never come back into fashion.

Too many ignorant dumba__es on this FR page.

A botched episiotomy is nothing to laugh at.

In fact, it’s a terrible experience that *NONE* of you would wish for.

Couldn’t the whole problem be resolved with a wind screen on her microphone. Oops! I meant a breaking wind screen.

I was thinking they might be wet farts which would pose a problem.

Are her farts sharp or flat? It could make a difference, depending on your proximity to the stage.

Some strange stuff on the album ... ‘The Prince’s Panties’ comes immediately to mind.
