Of farts and belches

Some time ago I had commented on how I hate the sight of the male of the species indulging in something which comes most naturally to them …scratching crotch , yesterday I was subjected to another sight which I find very repulsive , a very pleasant looking middle aged man was digging his nose vigorously, with such concentration and singular devotion that one would assume that his life depended on it , and have u ever been in a dinner table where u hear the person next to you fart (and if its really not your day you smell it too) and u don’t know where to look because you are embarrassed for that person while he gorges on his chicken tikka (filling u with the dread of being subjected to a chicken tikka flavored fart …ewww) and after that you probably will never see the perfectly respectable person in the same light again coz u heard him fart , or the time when the teller of the bank decides to burp right on your face polluting the air with the smell of his lunch… now I m no prude and I confess to indulging in each and every one of these very “biologically justified activities” but then why am I (in particular) so squeamish about the public display of them???
Farting is the spontaneous expulsion of intestinal gas through the anus and is as common and important a biological process as say blinking…then why is there the stigma attached to it …maybe because of the odor it emanates …
Wouldn’t it be nice if we accept these biological functions as normal and stop attaching the stigma to them? A world infested with farters and belchers and crotch scratchers !!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

you are right S.(i'm not in the mood to spell your loooong name). Those things forever change your perception of a person.
Once a guy I knew socially & as a buiness man went around 1/2 the day w/a large booger hanging in his nostral, he has been Booger-boy in my mind since. If i just see him down the street, I think, "Booger-boy!"
& i'm a grown woman, I should be way beyond that kind of childishness.

Heres a thot. I bet we all have one of those nick-names & will never know who might be calling us "Fart- breath!" or "big-fat-slob!"
