Farting in the wintertime
That "hey look I can see my breath" moment works on both ends.

So be careful about that especially if you happen taking a "smoke break" standing in front a giant glass facade of a major university medical center with the freshest crop of 3rd year med students, families of patients waiting for their loved ones, and the 3:15 express passing by with those on the bus with nothing better to do that look out the window-pointing and laughing. :grr:


Just a word to the wise and otherwise.

3. Right right purely hypothetical
Just a word of warning really. I've heard of it happening.

6. Hey I only had 8 yesterday
and that was a day of doing nothing but sitting in a waiting room.

I only had 5 on Tuesday and those were additive free (though still not safe) American Spirits.

4. I was going to do a copycat entitled "sharting in the wintertime", but
refrained. shart is one of my favorite words b/c it's so gross and descriptive :evilgrin:

8. Either that...or wear a really heavy, long parka...
:hi: I hope all is well and that you were not at the medical center for a serious problem.

17. My brother
they took out his lymphnodes yesterday and way have to go back in on the tongue-they had thought the chemo/radiation had done the trick (not sure) now. This is for cancer and yes I am aware of how stupid it is to be smoking when going to wait for someone having surgery for cancer.

I AM quitting, slowly.

19. You get no whack upside the head from me. I know how hard it is to
quit, even in the face of watching someone go through cancer. The slogan don't quit quitting is very worthwhile. I'll never quit quitting. :hi:

9. Are you sure about this....
seeing your breath is actually seeing the moisture of your breath condense in the cold air. I have no idea about the moisture contents of anyones' farts...at least when they are healthy

16. I've been hardly working.
Trying to avoid getting fired by "the Man" for surfing too much on the job.

Speaking of which, I should run.... :hi:

18. I spent 30 winters in Edmonton.
And I don't know WHAT you're talking about.

Having grown up there, I can't believe that as a youngster, all of my peers simply didn't notice this "phenomenon".
